Solutions for Wisconsin
Wisconsin Accessibility Standards + ADA Title II Compliance
Wisconsin has included accessibility in its IT procurement standards and DET policies for years, and the DOJ's Section 508 guidelines cover state agency websites. But the federal ADA Title II rule is the first time there's an enforceable deadline — and it covers documents too. For Wisconsin agencies, that means every public-facing PDF needs to meet WCAG 2.1 AA. CASO Comply remediates them at scale so you don't have to do it manually.
What Wisconsin Already Requires
Wisconsin has folded accessibility into IT procurement and DET policies, and the DOJ has established Section 508 guidelines. The federal ADA Title II rule now adds enforceable deadlines. CASO Comply handles the document side at scale.
Wis. Stat. 16.971–16.975 — DET Authority
Wisconsin's Division of Enterprise Technology (DET) within the Department of Administration has statutory authority to prescribe IT policies, standards, and procedures for all executive branch agencies — including accessibility requirements.
Wisconsin DOJ Section 508 Guidelines
The Wisconsin Department of Justice has established guidelines for its websites and online tools based on Section 508 of the federal Rehabilitation Act, requiring clear text alternatives for images, accessible forms, and adjustable font sizes.
DET IT Procurement Accessibility Standards
Wisconsin includes accessibility in its IT procurement and development standards, requiring that technology purchased or built by state agencies meets accessibility criteria as part of the purchasing process.
Federal ADA Title II (Applies to All Wisconsin Public Entities)
The DOJ's 2024 ADA Title II web rule requires all Wisconsin state and local government web content — including PDFs — to meet WCAG 2.1 AA, creating the first enforceable accessibility deadline for the state.
The Federal Clock Wisconsin Is On
The DOJ's ADA Title II web rule says “web content” includes documents posted on the site — making this Wisconsin's first enforceable deadline for PDF accessibility.

Why Wisconsin Entities Choose CASO Comply
Clear the PDF Backlog Fast
Wisconsin agencies, counties, and school districts have years of PDFs on their websites — from DHS forms to county board minutes to UW System publications. With the ADA Title II deadline creating Wisconsin's first enforceable compliance date, manual remediation can't keep pace. CASO Comply automates it at scale.
Stay Compliant on Every New Upload
Meeting the federal deadline once isn't enough — compliance has to be ongoing. CASO Comply catches new PDFs as they're published and makes them accessible automatically, so your agency doesn't drift out of compliance as new content goes up.
No Accessibility Expertise Required
Most Wisconsin agencies and local governments don't have WCAG or PDF/UA specialists on staff. CASO Comply handles the technical work — structure tagging, metadata, alt text, reading order — so your IT or communications team can meet the federal deadline without hiring specialists or sending staff through weeks of training.
