Free account · 10 pages per scan · No credit card
Built on axe-core with AI-augmented review on every paid scan.
Tests against all 50 Level A & AA criteria — including the 9 new criteria added in WCAG 2.2 (focus indicators, dragging movements, target size, accessible authentication) — using axe-core from Deque Systems.
On paid plans, our AI reviews each page with vision + content analysis — alt-text quality, link descriptiveness, cognitive accessibility, semantic structure. The judgment calls axe-core can’t make.
Clean PDF reports with your logo, an executive summary, severity-ranked findings, and concrete remediation guidance — ready to hand to engineering, design, or legal.
Pages render in headless Chromium with full JavaScript execution — not just static HTML. We catch the issues real users actually hit.
Coverage
Every paid scan runs all four categories in one pass. Industry modules (healthcare, commerce, education) only emit findings on pages whose content actually triggers them — your marketing pages won't get HIPAA noise.
What “covers HIPAA / PCI / FERPA / SOC 2” actually means
Plumb is a web-layer scanner. WCAG runs against ~100 axe-core rules — that's a real, deep audit. Core Web Vitals are real measurements against Google's thresholds. The industry modules (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, FERPA, SOC 2) run web-layer hygiene checks scoped to what a public HTTP/HTML scan can see — PHI in URLs, checkout HTTPS, form-method security, header presence, link audits. They are not certifications and do not replace your BAA review, SAQ, records-management audit, or CPA-firm SOC 2 attestation. Use them to catch the obvious web-side failures that would otherwise bite at audit time.
All 50 Level A & AA criteria including the 9 new in 2.2 (focus, dragging, target size, accessible auth). AAA on Pro. The standard ADA Title II / III and Section 508 reference.
DOJ April 2024 rule requires WCAG 2.1 AA on state & local govt sites — compliance windows in 2026/2027.
The basis for 3,000–4,500 website-accessibility lawsuits per year. Most settlements reference WCAG 2.1 AA.
Required for federal agencies and contractors. Revised 508 Standards adopt WCAG 2.0 AA by reference.
CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy — Mozilla Observatory + OWASP baselines. Header presence and basic syntax; not a full security audit.
Privacy policy link, "Do Not Sell or Share" link, tracker inventory (GA, Meta, Hotjar, etc.), banner detection, GPC awareness. Link & banner presence — not consent-flow validation.
LCP, CLS, INP, TTFB measured per page against Google's published thresholds. Headless scans rarely capture INP (needs user interaction).
PHI in URLs, HTTPS / HSTS, form security, autocomplete on sensitive fields. Web-verifiable subset of the Security Rule — does not replace your BAA review, encryption-at-rest, or access-control audit.
Card number in URLs, checkout HTTPS, form method, CVV autocomplete, iframe-tokenization recommendation. Catches obvious web-side failures — does not replace your SAQ or annual assessment.
Student PII in URLs, HTTPS on student-record pages, form method. PowerSchool / Canvas / Banner platform signals. Web-layer only — no records-management or access-control verification.
Maps findings from other modules to CC6.6 (boundary), CC6.7 (transmission), CC6.8 (malware prevention), CC9.1 (risk mitigation). Hand to your CPA firm. Not a SOC 2 audit and not a substitute for one.

What's under the hood
We don't run our own accessibility ruleset or our own browser engine — we build on the industry standards. The value Plumb adds is the orchestration, AI judgment, and reporting around them.
We'll add customer quotes here as soon as we have ones worth showing. Until then, the sample report and a free scan are the most honest answer to “is this any good?”
Automated rule engines catch ~30–40% of WCAG issues. The rest take judgment — is the alt text actually descriptive? Does the heading structure make logical sense? Is information conveyed only by color?
On Standard and Pro, every page is reviewed by AI with vision + content analysis to surface what programmatic tools miss.
See plansLink text “Read more” appears 7 times on the page without surrounding context. Screen reader users navigating by link list cannot distinguish destinations.
Paste your homepage. We crawl the site so you can see the full page list and pick exactly which pages to audit — no surprise budget burn.
Each chosen page is rendered, axe-core runs, screenshots are captured, and our AI reviews each page for the issues axe-core can’t see.
A clean PDF with executive summary, severity-ranked findings, code-fix examples, and screenshots — ready for engineering or legal.
