Introduction
ARC is Vispero’s enterprise accessibility monitoring platform, originally developed by TPGi. Its product page describes it as designed to prevent compliance drift and sustain accessibility between formal audits and VPAT testing, by continuously evaluating websites, applications and digital workflows to identify risk patterns and detect regressions.
According to Vispero, ARC delivers ongoing automated accessibility scanning, regression detection and alerting, centralised compliance dashboards, executive-level trend reporting and workflow alignment across digital teams. It is intended to catch accessibility issues introduced by releases, content updates or integrations before they escalate into complaints or regulatory scrutiny, with documented trend reporting to support ADA Title II, Section 508, WCAG 2.2, EN 301 549 and European Accessibility Act requirements. Monitoring integrates into development and QA workflows. Vispero also offers audits, VPAT testing and its free ARC Toolkit browser extension; check the site for current tooling and pricing.
