Accessibility

We are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities.

Measures to support accessibility

Foundation Surety & Insurance Solutions ("Foundation Surety" or "We") take the following measures to ensure accessibility of www.FoundationSurety.com:

• Include accessibility throughout our internal policies.
• Provide continual accessibility training for our staff.
• Assign clear accessibility targets and responsibilities.
• Employ formal accessibility quality assurance methods.
• Include people with disabilities in our design personas.

Conformance status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Foundation Surety & Insurance Solutions is partially conformant with WCAG 2.0 Level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Additional accessibility considerations

Although our goal is WCAG 2.0 Level AA conformance, we have also applied some Level AAA Success Criteria: Images of text are only used for decorative purposes. Re-authentication after a session expires does not cause loss of data.
