Compliance, Security and Ethics: The Tester’s New Frontier
summary
Discussion delivers concrete details: EU Digital Operational Resilience Act is already driving changes, the European Accessibility Act extends obligations to private businesses, and only 25% of EU public sites are accessible seven years after initial rules. Reports of a Domino’s ADA case and cited fines (around $2 million) make the business case; a live demo with a screen‑reader user convinces execs. Practical tooling notes: overlays fail in practice, browser accessibility features and proper ARIA workarounds are the real fixes.
