MAPS framework
Four categories, one clear decision-making view.
MAPS organizes common public website concerns into four areas that make website risk easier to understand and prioritize.
Accessibility
Surface barriers that lock out real users, create compliance exposure, and erode trust — with remediation steps mapped to WCAG where applicable.
Performance
Slow, unstable, or oversized experiences that increase bounce rates before a visitor ever considers reaching out.
Security
Visible weaknesses, missing protections, and risky patterns on the public homepage — mapped to OWASP where applicable.
Practical approach
Technical evidence translated into business decisions.
A MAPS report keeps the work focused on visible website behavior, why it matters, and the next useful action.
1. Observe the public experience
Start with the website behavior customers and browsers can see without private access or credentials.
2. Explain the consequence
Connect technical signals to customer trust, usability, performance, and visible security posture.
3. Clarify the next step
Give decision-makers and technical teams enough context to make a focused, proportionate decision.
