Accessiway has launched a platform designed to give organisations a continuous, real-time view of their digital accessibility performance, as traditional audit-based approaches struggle to keep pace with modern development cycles.
The system replaces static, periodic audits with structured issue management and live compliance tracking, allowing businesses to monitor accessibility risks across websites, applications and customer interfaces as they evolve.
The move reflects a growing mismatch between the speed of digital development and the tools used to govern it. Many organisations still rely on a cyclical process — commissioning audits, producing reports and manually tracking issues — a model increasingly ill-suited to environments where updates are deployed daily or even hourly.
Accessiway’s platform integrates accessibility into ongoing development workflows. Issues identified through expert audits are logged with technical context and remediation guidance, and can be routed directly into engineering pipelines through integrations such as Jira. The aim is to embed accessibility alongside performance and security, rather than treating it as a standalone compliance exercise.
Unlike fully automated tools, the platform combines continuous monitoring with human-led assessment. Findings are updated dynamically as issues are resolved, with compliance levels recalculated in real time.
Amit Borsok, chief executive and co-founder, said the shift was driven by structural changes in how digital products are built. “Development teams can now ship updates in hours, while accessibility processes are still running on an annual cycle,” he said. “That gap is where risk accumulates.”
The launch comes as evidence mounts of declining accessibility standards online. The WebAIM Million report for 2026 found that 95.9 per cent of the world’s most visited homepages contain detectable accessibility failures, reversing several years of incremental improvement. Increasing page complexity and the rapid adoption of AI-assisted coding tools have been cited as contributing factors.
At the same time, global surveys indicate widespread uptake of AI among developers, with many using such tools daily despite limited confidence in their outputs — raising concerns about the quality and inclusivity of code produced at scale.
Accessiway said the platform would be rolled out immediately to its existing customer base of more than 2,000 organisations across 20 countries, spanning sectors from finance to the public sector. With operations in cities including Paris, Hamburg, Vienna and Turin, the company is seeking to position the product as a new standard for accessibility management across European markets.
