Our Commitment

DecipherU is committed to ensuring our cybersecurity career intelligence platform is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We design our assessments, reports, and learning tools following WCAG 2.2 Level AA guidelines and continuously work to improve the accessibility of our platform.

This commitment aligns with our foundation in learning sciences , accessible design is inclusive design, and inclusive design creates better experiences for everyone.

Standards We Follow

•WCAG 2.2 Level AA , Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, the current W3C standard
•Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) , U.S. accessibility requirements
•European Accessibility Act (EAA) , EU accessibility requirements in force since June 2025
•Section 508 , U.S. federal accessibility standards

Accessibility Features

Keyboard Navigation

Full keyboard operability across all features. Navigate with Tab, select with Enter, and use arrow keys for complex controls.

Screen Reader Support

ARIA landmarks, live regions, and text alternatives for all visual content. Tested with NVDA, VoiceOver, and JAWS.

Colorblind-Safe Design

Dual-encoded heatmaps with shapes + colors + text labels. Never rely on color alone to convey information.

Dark Mode

System-aware theme with manual toggle. Reduces eye strain in low-light conditions.

Assessment Accommodations

Extended timer options (1.5x, 2x, or no timer) for users who need them. Settings persist for all assessments.

Reduced Motion

All animations respect prefers-reduced-motion. Toggle available in accessibility settings.

Zoom Support

Full reflow at 400% zoom without horizontal scrolling. All content remains readable and functional.

High Contrast

Support for Windows High Contrast Mode and prefers-contrast. Focus indicators remain visible.

Text Alternatives

All charts and visualizations include accessible data tables. 'View as table' toggle on every chart.

Accessibility across DecipherU product surfaces

Each interactive surface on the DecipherU cybersecurity career platform is designed to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Below is what to expect on the newer surfaces.

•Range training environment. Full keyboard navigation across the scenario timeline, command palette, and evidence panel. Screen readers announce adversary moves and incident state changes via ARIA live regions. AI adversary dialogue is captioned in a synchronized text panel; captions can be paused, replayed, and exported. Reduced-motion users see a static playback mode that skips kinetic transitions.
•Hiring marketplace. Candidate-facing forms (profile, opt-in, role preferences) and employer-facing forms (job post, candidate review) follow accessible form patterns: labels associated with every input, inline error messages tied to the corresponding field via aria-describedby, and focus management on validation. Required fields are marked with both color and a star glyph announced by screen readers.
•Threat gamification (Phishing Detector, Pattern Recognition, daily threat quiz). All games are keyboard accessible: arrow keys to highlight, Enter to select, Tab to move between groups. Screen reader users hear question text, answer options, and a result announcement after each round. Color is never the only indicator (correct or incorrect carry both a color and an icon plus text). Timed rounds can be set to no-timer mode.
•Pause subscription flow. The pause-instead-of-cancel flow in the dashboard is keyboard-only navigable. Each step of the wizard has a heading, a clear primary action, and an explicit cancel-this-flow button. Screen readers announce the resulting pause window and resume date after confirmation. Confirmation emails repeat the same information in plain text.
