GIGW 3.0

GIGW 3.0 (Guidelines for Indian Government Websites 3.0) is a structured framework for evaluating and ensuring the accessibility, usability, security, and compliance of government websites and digital services. Its primary purpose is to provide standardized guidelines that enhance user experience, ensure data protection, and maintain operational integrity.

By proactively implementing GIGW 3.0 standards, organizations can improve accessibility for all citizens, meet regulatory and compliance requirements, strengthen website security, and deliver reliable, user-friendly, and inclusive digital services.

• 

  Ensure website accessibility and usability for all citizens, including differently-abled users, before it impacts user experience or service delivery.

• 

  Protect sensitive citizen data such as personal information, government records, and critical digital services.

• 

  Meet regulatory and compliance requirements with documented adherence to GIGW 3.0 standards and best practices.

• 

  Reduce operational and reputational risks by implementing guidelines proactively rather than correcting issues post-launch.

• 

  Strengthen overall digital service quality by continuously improving website security, accessibility, and user experience in line with evolving standards.

• Step 1: Scope Definition & Website Asset Identification: 

  We define the assessment scope by identifying government websites, web applications, digital services, content types, and regulatory requirements to ensure a focused GIGW 3.0 compliance review.

• Step 2: Accessibility, Usability & Security Evaluation: 

  Websites are evaluated against GIGW 3.0 guidelines for accessibility, usability, security, content quality, and technical compliance using automated tools and expert manual review.

• Step 3: Compliance Validation & Risk Prioritization: 

  Findings are validated to eliminate false positives and prioritized based on impact, severity of non-compliance, and potential risk to users or critical services.

• Step 4: Actionable Reporting & Recommendations: 

  A detailed report is delivered with compliance status, gaps, risk ratings, and actionable recommendations to achieve full adherence to GIGW 3.0 standards.
