VPATs and audits aren’t just compliance requirements — they’re tools that help your clients win contracts while increasing your agency’s margins. Equip yourself with answers that build trust, unlock bigger deals, and strengthen your role as a digital advisor. Here’s how:

VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template)

  • Nobody’s asking us for a VPAT.

    Government, higher-ed, and enterprise buyers often require a VPAT during procurement. Having one ready keeps you from losing opportunities at the last minute and positions you as prepared for compliance-heavy contracts.

  • We can just write one ourselves.

    Procurement teams take third-party VPATs more seriously. By partnering with accessiBe, you give your clients third-party credibility that procurement teams trust — helping them move through approvals faster.

  • It’s just paperwork — it won’t make us accessible.

    A VPAT is compliance documentation, not remediation. But without it, buyers can’t even consider you. Pairing a VPAT with an accessibility roadmap shows your client is serious about accessibility and future-ready.

  • Won’t this highlight our accessibility gaps?

    Almost every organization has gaps. A VPAT demonstrates transparency and commitment to improvement, which procurement teams respect. With accessiBe, you can also offer remediation and support to show progress.

Audits

  • We just need to fix things — not an audit.

    Without an audit, remediation is guesswork. An audit pinpoints what’s broken, where, and how severe — so your client saves time, reduces costs, and gets expert guidance instead of trial-and-error.

  • We’ll wait until someone complains.

    Proactive audits protect your clients from legal risk. Lawsuits are costly (often $20k+ per case) and reputation-damaging. An audit helps them close gaps before they’re exposed.

  • Audits are too expensive.

    Compared to lawsuits or losing contracts, audits are a fraction of the cost. Plus, audits help dev teams prioritize fixes, saving hours of engineering time. With accessiBe handling the delivery, you can offer this high-value service with zero lift on your side.

Why now?

  • RFPs are changing

    Accessibility requirements are now standard in government, higher ed, and enterprise contracts. Without VPATs or audits, your clients won’t even make it past procurement.

  • Clients are asking

    Even if they’re not today, they will be soon. Partners who are prepared can step in as trusted advisors.

  • Competitive edge

    Few agencies can deliver credible compliance documentation — positioning you as the one-stop solution gives you a clear advantage.

  • Risk protection

    Lawsuits are rising. Proactive services like audits help clients avoid costly litigation and reputation damage.
