ADA Compliance: Is Your Security Training Accessible?

Okay, so, like, ADA Compliance for security training...is your stuff really accessible? I mean, think about it. We all gotta do those boring security training modules, right? (ugh, the worst). But what if someone, like, couldnt see the video? Or, you know, they couldnt hear it?


Thats where the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) comes in. Its not just about ramps and wide doorways, you know. Its about making sure everyone has a fair shot, including when it comes to, like, learning how to spot a phishing email or, I dun know, prevent a cyber attack.


So, is your training actually usable by someone with a disability? Does it have captions?

Can screen readers understand the text? Are the colors contrasting enough for people with low vision? And what about people who struggle with reading comprehension? Is it presented in a way thats easy to understand, or is it all, like, jargon and technobabble?


Honestly, a lot of companies totally drop the ball on this. They think, "Oh, we have a video, thats good enough." But its not. The ADA says you got to make reasonable accommodations. And that includes your darn security training.

Its not just a nice thing to do; its the law (I think. Maybe check that with a lawyer, haha).


And think about it this way, making your training accessible benefits everyone. Clearer language, better visuals, good captions - those things dont just help people with disabilities; they help all your employees learn and retain the information better. So, its a win-win, really.


So before you just, like, check that "security training complete" box for everyone, ask yourself: is it really accessible? Or are you accidentally excluding a bunch of your employees from learning how to keep your company safe?
