Abstract

The access and use of the websites regardless of the hardware, software, geographic location or network infrastructures available to the user, are a necessity and topics addressed in the usability and accessibility standards. In this sense, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has provided the set of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), in order to ensure an equivalent user experience for people with disabilities, as well as cybersecurity has gained widespread attention in organizations in the attention of the dependence on ICT, and information management as an asset, managed by technologies and vital for decision making.
