We aim for WCAG 2.2 level AA on guardkin.com. Nobody outside GuardKin has audited the site, and we do not claim conformance. This page says what we measured, when, and what is still wrong.
The standard we hold ourselves to.
The target
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, level AA, for this website, guardkin.com. It is a target, not a certificate.
Two rules of our own
No text is drawn smaller than 16 pixels, and every link and button is at least 44 by 44 pixels. These are stricter than WCAG, which sets no minimum text size and asks for 24 by 24 pixel targets at level AA. Missing one of our rules is not, by itself, a failure of WCAG, and this page says which is which.
What this does not cover
The signed-in products (the client, advisor, firm and operator apps) are separate and are not assessed here.
What we measured on .
With a headless Chromium browser and axe-core 4.13, at 390 and 1440 pixels wide. Automated tools find only part of what is wrong, so a clean result is not a finding of conformance.
Pages measured
The home page, Platform, Solutions (and its two segment pages), For families, For clients, For advisors, For firms, Help, Status and Accessibility, in the current design.
Automated rules
axe-core’s WCAG 2.0 to 2.2 level A and AA rules found no violations on Help, Status and Accessibility. On the other pages it found one kind: colour contrast in the product screens, described under “What is still wrong”. On two pages it once reported a missing page title while the development server was recompiling, and we could not reproduce it.
Text size and controls
No text was drawn under 16 pixels, and no link or button was under 44 pixels in either dimension, on those pages. The one exception is the footer on wide screens, where links are 36 pixels tall. That is above the 24 pixels WCAG asks for and below our own rule.
Small screens and zoom
None of those pages scrolled sideways at 320 pixels wide, the width WCAG uses to test zooming to 400 percent. Text is sized in pixels, so changing only your browser’s default text size does not enlarge it. Page zoom does.
Contrast of body text
Body text and links meet the 4.5 to 1 contrast level AA asks for. They do not all meet the 7 to 1 of level AAA: the grey used for secondary text is 6.1 to 1 on the page ground and 5.7 to 1 on the pale sections.
Motion
With reduced motion requested, no entrance animation ran and nothing was left hidden. The header has a button, “Pause site motion”, that does the same for everyone.
Keyboard
The first stop on every page is a link that skips to the main content. The links and buttons we tabbed through, fourteen stops on each page, showed a visible focus outline.
What is still wrong.
Known on 22 October 2026. A gap may have been fixed since; none has been reworded to read as met.
Product screens that have not scrolled into view are faded.
On the home page, Platform, For families, For clients, For advisors, For firms and the family offices page, the product screens sit in a row you scroll sideways. A screen you have not reached is drawn at 60 percent opacity, and its text is below the 4.5 to 1 contrast of WCAG 1.4.3 until it arrives. It matters most to readers with low vision who read ahead.
Pages in the earlier design.
Pages that have not been rebuilt, which on the date above included the legal pages, the API and documentation pages and sign-in, still carry text under 16 pixels and controls under 44. Seven links or buttons on each were under 24 by 24 pixels, which may fail WCAG 2.5.8.
One motion remains under reduced motion.
The cut edge of a cropped product screen is changed by scrolling, and that is not switched off by reduced motion or by the pause button. It moves no text.
No screen reader testing is behind this page.
The measurements are browser measurements and a keyboard check. We have not recorded testing with screen readers for this statement, and no outside audit has been done.
