Why Layer Seven exists

People responsible for a website often have to choose between expensive agency reviews, generic automated tools, and vague recommendations that are hard to act on. L7S exists to provide a more useful focused starting point: defined scope, plain language, and practical decision support.

The approach is intentionally focused, practical, and easy to interpret by both business stakeholders and technical teams.

How we keep the scope honest

  • Work begins with public website evidence, not private systems or logged-in workflows
  • Technical observations are mapped to recognized guidance such as OWASP and WCAG where appropriate
  • Business impact is explained before anyone is asked to make a technical decision
  • Scope limits and non-claims are stated directly
