In June 2025, the Accessibility Strengthening Act (BSFG) will come into effect, requiring companies to make their digital offerings accessible.
The diva-e Accessibility Audit ensures that your website meets all BSFG requirements: We identify potential weaknesses and provide concrete action plans to achieve an optimal digital experience—for all users. #EmpoweringExperience
If you answer even one of these questions with "No," the diva-e Accessibility Audit is relevant for you:
Does your website comply with BITV guidelines?
Is your website optimized for use with different input devices?
Do you have an overview of the accessibility of your web components?
Does your team feel confident in handling the topic of accessibility?
This is how our Accessibility Audit for your website works.
We review your site for barriers that may prevent access for users with various disabilities, based on current legal requirements and best practices.
We conduct both manual and automated tests to identify weaknesses and errors that need to be addressed.
You will receive a detailed report outlining all identified barriers along with concrete recommendations on how to eliminate them effectively.
After implementing the recommended changes, we conduct a follow-up review to ensure that your website is now fully accessible and BSFG-compliant.

The advantages of digital accessibility
The enactment of the BSFG is just one reason to make your online offerings accessible—there are many additional benefits beyond legal compliance.
An accessibility audit uncovers problem areas. Based on this, measures can be implemented that enable people with permanent or temporary disabilities to use the website without any problems - this is the first step towards a more inclusive and equal user experience.
Improving accessibility leads to an all-round better usability of the website, as the same principles that help people with disabilities also make digital orientation easier for other users.
Accessibility allows websites to appeal to a wider audience - including people with disabilities and older people who may need specialised assistive technology.
Many countries have laws and regulations that govern the accessibility of websites. An accessibility audit helps to categorise the current status quo and can thus avoid potential problems in accordance with your own legal department. In Germany, the Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSG), which is the implementation of EU Directive 2019/882, comes into force on 28 June 2025.
Non-compliance with accessibility standards can lead to fines or other legal sanctions. An accessibility audit helps to identify potential risks at an early stage and minimise dangers in advance.
Accessible websites often offer a better user experience, which can have a positive impact on search engine rankings.
An accessible website demonstrates the company's commitment to social responsibility and inclusion, which improves its image and credibility.
By considering accessibility from the outset and carrying out regular audits, you can ensure that the website remains compatible with new standards and technologies in the future.
An accessible website can set you apart from the competition, especially in industries where accessibility is not yet widespread.
Ultimately, ensuring accessibility on the Internet is also a question of ethical responsibility and respect for all users, regardless of their abilities.
