Compare WCAG 2.2 with ITU-T X.805 - Security Architecture for End-to-End Communications

What is WCAG 2.2 and who does it apply to?

WCAG 2.2 is a compliance framework from International with 5 domains and 5 controls. Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 is the W3C Recommendation (05 October 2023) that defines how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. WCAG 2.2 contains 87 success criteria organized under 4 principles (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust) and 13 guidelines, at three conformance levels (A, AA, AAA). Nine new criteria were added in 2.2; 4.1.1 Parsing was removed. It is used by organisations to establish and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

What does WCAG 2.2 actually require?

WCAG 2.2 has 5 controls organised across 5 domains. The largest domains are Conformance (1 controls), Operable (1 controls), Perceivable (1 controls). Each control defines specific requirements that organisations must implement to achieve compliance.

If I already comply with another framework, how much of WCAG 2.2 do I already cover?

WCAG 2.2 maps to 100 other compliance frameworks. The top mapping partners are ITU-T X.805 - Security Architecture for End-to-End Communications (20% coverage), ASIS SPC.1-2009 - Organizational Resilience Standard (20% coverage), ISO 41001:2018 - Facility Management Systems (20% coverage).
