Organizations with large or frequently changing websites need a practical way to keep track of potential accessibility issues as pages and features evolve. Accessibility monitoring can give a client’s team ongoing access to automated scan results for agreed pages, while scheduled manual evaluations provide a broader review within a defined scope.

This approach can suit companies with large internal and external sites, development teams responsible for frequent releases, and web agencies that want to include accessibility monitoring in their services.

What teams get from ongoing monitoring

A monitoring platform scans configured pages for patterns associated with detectable accessibility issues. Team members can review results, investigate flagged items, and follow changes over time. Automated scans help surface issues for review, but findings need human interpretation and may not identify every barrier.

Platform access helps a development or content team work with scan results as part of its regular site maintenance. Coverage depends on the pages and scan configuration agreed for the service, so scoping should account for important templates, sections, and user flows.

Monitoring is one part of an accessibility program

Automated monitoring is useful for recurring checks, but it does not replace manual evaluation. Some issues depend on context, meaning, or interaction and cannot be fully judged by a scanner alone.

Kaffeinated Kodemonkey’s monitoring service combines the client team’s platform access and ongoing automated scans powered by WAVE with a quarterly manual WCAG evaluation under the DHS Trusted Tester Process. Findings from each quarterly evaluation are documented in a WCAG Evaluation Audit Report (WEAR), with supporting Proof of Compliance Certificate (POCC) documentation within the agreed scope.

Who may benefit?

Monitoring may be useful when an organization or agency:

• Maintains many pages, sites, or frequently updated web properties
• Has developers or content teams who can review and address scan findings
• Needs recurring visibility as new content and code are released
• Supports clients and wants to add accessibility monitoring to its service offering
• Needs periodic manual evaluation and updated documentation alongside scans

The monitoring setup and evaluation scope should reflect the client’s sites, team capacity, and documentation requirements.
