I am looking to service the government in scanning and filing documents. We want to use sharepoint. Is this application 508 compliant and if yes, how can I receive a certification?

Answer 1

Hi @lswhitfield starcomm.biz ,
According to the official statement, SharePoint online and 508 should be compatible.

Microsoft is a major software and cloud-services provider to U.S. federal and state governments. To assist government customers in making procurement decisions, Microsoft publishes Accessibility Conformance Reports describing the extent to which our products and services support the criteria of Section 508.

And, In SharePoint in Microsoft 365 experiences, such as in Microsoft 365, accessibility features are built-in.
