For in-house accessibility audits

Nautil Control accessibility audits by your own team

The same panel Nautil’s auditors use for WCAG audits, for teams that want to audit on their own. Websites, mobile apps and files: errors with screenshots and fix guidance, criteria calculated from the errors and a report generated from a template.

The panel in action

See how the panel works in practice

Six short recordings from the demo version of the panel, on an audit of the nautil.pl website — from the error list and AI to what the audit recipient sees. The recordings have no sound, and below each one we describe what it shows.

Errors

  1. Error list. Grouped by WCAG principles, with severity, page area and a screenshot thumbnail.
  2. Filter. Only the two critical errors.
  3. Error window. Screenshots with markings, WCAG criteria, severity, area, who fixes it and a description of the problem.
  4. How to fix. AI writes it from the description and screenshots, and the auditor marks the error as ready.
  5. Export. The error list downloaded as an Excel file.

AI and scanner

  1. Sample errors. Three errors from the nautil.pl audit with a screenshot, title and area — without a description, severity or fix guidance.
  2. Generate everything at once. AI fills in the description, severity, fix guidance and role in all of the audit’s errors (about a minute, cut from the recording).
  3. The result in the error window. The description, severity, role and fix guidance written by AI, each with a button for the auditor to verify it.
  4. Scanner. The axe-core tool checks two pages on the server, and the auditor approves the findings with screenshots.
  5. Error list. The new errors among the recently added ones.

File audit

  1. Audit details. The file and document platform and a PDF/UA-1 conformance check.
  2. File check. The panel reads a sample PDF file in the browser — tags, alternative texts, headings and metadata. The file is not sent to the server.
  3. Suggested errors. Four errors, each with a WCAG criterion or a PDF/UA condition.
  4. Adding. The selected suggestions go to the audit’s error list.

Criteria and statement

  1. Success criteria. WCAG 2.2 AA: 29 met, 12 not met and 14 not applicable — calculated from the errors.
  2. Not met. The filter shows the 12 criteria with errors.
  3. Accessibility statement. The checker finds the statement on the website by itself and checks the requirements of Article 10 of the Polish Digital Accessibility Act and the technical conditions.
  4. Result. Each gap marked as an error or a remark.
  5. Auditor’s assessment. The checker’s suggestion fills in the verdict, and the auditor saves it.

Re-audit and report

  1. Re-audit. A copy of the audit for re-verification after fixes.
  2. Verification. A keyboard error marked as fixed.
  3. Criteria. Recalculated from the errors and compared with the previous audit, with the changed criterion marked as improved.
  4. Report. Generated from a template in Google Docs (about 3 minutes, cut from the recording).
  5. Finished document. The re-audit report: cover, basic information and the team.

Results for the recipient

  1. Recipient’s dashboard. The audit result: 78% conformance, the severity breakdown and the most frequently failed criteria.
  2. Errors. Each with a description and fix guidance.
  3. Question. A thread with the auditor on a specific error.
  4. Fix. The recipient marks the error as fixed.
  5. Summary and documents. Results of all audits and the audit files.
Screenshots

What the panel looks like — demo version

  • An error with screenshots, criteria and fix guidance
  • WCAG criteria calculated from the errors
  • Automatic check of the accessibility statement
  • The audit result in the recipient’s panel
  • Summary of all audits

An audit that lives in spreadsheets and e-mails

Many teams run accessibility audits the same way: errors in a spreadsheet, screenshots in a folder, a report put together by hand in a text editor, results sent by e-mail. It works — until there are a dozen audits and, after the re-audit, nobody knows what was fixed.

  • Errors in a spreadsheet

    The description in a spreadsheet, the screenshot in a folder, and every auditor marks severity and criteria in their own way.

  • A report put together by hand

    Descriptions, error numbers and the criteria table copied into the editor for every audit.

  • The statement checked by hand

    The requirements of Article 10 of the act and the technical conditions ticked off one by one.

  • A re-audit without a comparison

    After the fixes it is hard to tell what was fixed, and the results circulate by e-mail.

Illustration: a laptop with a spreadsheet of errors with some cells marked in red, a folder with 48 screenshots, a draft report in its seventh version, 9 unread e-mails and a sheet with the statement checklist ticked off in pencil.
After the rollout

The whole audit in one panel

The auditor describes an error once — it goes into the criteria table, the report and the recipient’s panel. The whole team sees the same state of the audit, and the recipient knows straight away what to fix.

  • Errors ready to fix

    A screenshot with markings, WCAG criteria, severity, fix guidance and the role that should fix it: developer, designer, editor or author.

  • Compliance with the law

    WCAG criteria calculated from the errors, an automatic check of the accessibility statement and EN 301 549 tables for mobile apps and files.

  • Fixing progress

    The recipient marks fixed errors and asks the auditor about a specific error, and the re-audit compares the result with the previous one.

  • All of the organisation’s audits

    A summary with the median conformance, fixing progress and the criteria not met in the largest number of audits.

Scope

Panel features

There is one panel with all the features below — the same ones Nautil’s auditors use every day.

  1. Error list and error window

    Errors grouped by WCAG principles, with a number, severity, area, screenshots with markings and a change history. Search, filters and export to CSV, Excel and JSON.

  2. AI assistant

    Descriptions, titles, severity, fix guidance and the role for a single error or many at once. AI suggests and the auditor checks — it never overwrites the auditor’s text.

  3. Automatic scanner

    The axe-core tool checks the chosen pages on the server. You review the findings with screenshots before saving — only the approved ones go into the audit.

  4. Success criteria

    A WCAG 2.1 or 2.2 criteria table: met, not met and not applicable calculated from the errors, with manual changes where needed.

  5. Accessibility statement

    The checker finds the statement on the website by itself and checks the requirements of Article 10 of the Polish act and the technical conditions. The verdict for the report is approved by the auditor.

  6. Mobile apps and files

    Audits of mobile apps and of PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, with EN 301 549 tables. The panel pre-checks PDF files in the browser, including PDF/UA conditions — the file is not sent to the server.

  7. Scenarios with testers

    Tasks for testers with disabilities, a tester form under a separate link and a summary table of the results in the report.

  8. Report and re-audit

    A report in Google Docs from a template — criteria, charts, errors, the statement and scenarios — with export to PDF and DOCX. The re-audit compares the result with the previous audit.

  9. Audit recipient’s panel

    A dashboard with the result, errors with descriptions and fix guidance, questions to the auditor about a specific error, marking fixes and a summary of all audits.

  10. Compliance statistics

    The state of all audited websites and apps: non-compliant with the act, with a critical criterion, statements with gaps, the most frequently failed criteria and who should fix them — with export to PDF.

In everyday use

Nautil’s auditors work in this panel

We use the panel to audit websites, mobile apps and files for public offices, universities, hospitals, museums and companies. The figures below come from the panel (November 2026).

  • 260+ audits run in the panel
  • 160+ websites and mobile apps audited
  • 6,900+ errors described by auditors
  • 120+ accessibility statements assessed

96% of the audited websites and apps fail criterion 1.3.1.

From the compliance statistics in the panel: 163 websites and mobile apps audited by Nautil’s auditors. Criterion 1.3.1 Info and Relationships concerns the structure of content — headings, lists and tables.
