It also provides a proof point to prospects worldwide that HCL® is working to make its products the most secure in the industry. This topic lists the standards and guidelines that AppScan® Enterprise supports.

Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) compliance document

A VPAT is a document that helps buyers and sellers assess the accessibility of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) products and services, ensuring compliance with standards like Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), and EN 301 549.

You can find the Accessibility Conformance Report (based on the VPAT) for AppScan Enterprise and other AppScan products on the official HCL Accessibility Compliance Reports page.
