A website conformance review is an evaluation of your business website against the specific laws, regulations, and professional standards that apply to your industry. It is not a generic SEO scan or a speed test. It checks whether your website content follows the rules that your regulators enforce.
What Makes It Different from a Regular Website Audit
Most website audits check performance, SEO, and basic accessibility. Those matter. But they miss something critical for regulated businesses: industry-specific content requirements.
A law firm website needs to follow ABA Model Rules on attorney advertising. A financial advisor website must meet SEC Marketing Rule and FINRA Rule 2210 standards. A healthcare provider needs HIPAA-informed privacy practices. A standard website audit does not check for any of this.
A conformance review fills that gap. It cross-references your website content against the actual regulatory frameworks that apply to your business.
Who Needs a Conformance Review
If your industry has a licensing board, professional association, or federal regulator that governs how you advertise or communicate with the public online, you need one. That includes:
- Law firms — bar advertising rules (every state is different)
- Financial advisors — SEC and FINRA disclosure requirements
- Healthcare providers — HIPAA, FTC health claims, ADA accessibility
- Real estate — Fair Housing Act, brokerage disclosures, MLS rules
- Cannabis businesses — state licensing display, age verification, THC disclaimers
- Insurance agents — state department of insurance advertising rules
- Contractors — licensing, bonding, and insurance display requirements
