Accessibility for F‑Secure Total
F‑Secure's very purpose is to protect consumers’ digital moments. When building digital products at F‑Secure, we have created a design system to make our products perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for the widest possible audience. Our product design focuses on creating solutions that empower users and enhance their safety and confidence online. We prioritize accessibility by designing simple, intuitive products that minimize cognitive load and follow guidelines for visual accessibility, including sufficient contrasts, appropriate text sizes, and awareness of seizure triggers.
Our intent is that in addition to delivering the best security experience, compliance with best accessibility practices in our product creation allows the creation of an inclusive product experience that welcomes both individuals with disabilities and the elderly and simultaneously serves the general population.
F‑Secure puts a significant emphasis on the ease of use of the Total app. We strive for demographic representation in our testing processes to ensure a multitude of cultural perspectives in the feedback that we apply to our product creation, and to not exclude any consumer groups. F‑Secure uses also its beta community to verify design decisions before the product is made available to a larger audience.
Additionally, we include compliance with the European Accessibility Act (EAA) to ensure our products are widely usable. No consumer group is excluded in the design and the target is to make protection easy to activate and use even without advanced technical skills.
Furthermore, by complying with the European Accessibility Act and accessibility recommendations from W3C, F‑Secure strives to ensure ease of use for users with various disabilities.
About the European Accessibility Act (EAA)
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) directive aims to ensure that products and services offered within the European Union are accessible to all users, including individuals with disabilities. The EAA mandates compliance with accessibility standards, specifically aligned with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, among other requirements.
EAA compliance is not legally mandatory for F‑Secure Total or partner variants of the application. But as a part of F‑Secure’s ambition to provide the best product experience, we aim to be compliant with the European Accessibility Standard EN 301549, that EAA requirements are based on. Despite of the fact that the compliance with the European Accessibility Standard is not legally mandatory, we have implemented required changes to make F‑Secure Total compliant. We have also updated our design system to make sure our future product and feature designs are automatically compliant with the accessibility requirements.
