I think that’s the wrong frame entirely. Digital accessibility is an organizational risk and governance gap, and once you see it that way, the right tool for the job isn’t a content checklist. It’s the same discipline we already use for application security: threat modeling and continuous technical monitoring. https://rietta.com/blog/metadata-in-wordperfect-ada-wcag-compliance/ Fri, 24 Jul 2026 10:00:00 +0000 https://rietta.com/blog/metadata-in-wordperfect-ada-wcag-compliance/ Courts throughout the United States still use WordPerfect. So why is metadata still being ignored? In our work with State courts, we have come across WordPerfect files, or PDF documents generated from them, with metadata deficiencies: no title (or subject), no author, and so forth. Now that WCAG 2.1 requirements are enforced through ADA Title II, documents without sufficient metadata to assist a user with disabilities using assistive technology are non-compliant with federal law. https://rietta.com/blog/real-ada-title-ii-deadline/ Fri, 03 Jul 2026 06:00:00 +0000 https://rietta.com/blog/real-ada-title-ii-deadline/ As a government agency, do you know how many of your documents will soon be a litigation risk under the ADA? In our cybersecurity work, Rietta has the pleasure of working with a number of government entity clients. In the last few years, a new risk has appeared linked with web content accessibility. Last year, we worked with one particular client to ensure their thousands of PDF documents were ready by the deadline with appropriate alternate content and an accommodation workflow.
