Electronic and Information Resources Accessibility and Security Standards Clause Samples
The "Electronic and Information Resources Accessibility and Security Standards" clause establishes requirements to ensure that electronic and information resources provided under a contract are accessible to individuals with disabilities and meet specified security standards. In practice, this means that any software, websites, or digital documents delivered must comply with recognized accessibility guidelines, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), and adhere to security protocols to protect sensitive information. The core function of this clause is to promote inclusivity and safeguard data by mandating that technology solutions are both usable by all individuals and protected against unauthorized access or breaches.
