CLEAR ROLES. NO AMBIGUITY.
We help you get ready.
The authorised bodies evaluate and certify.
Metric Vibes provides assessment, improvement, and readiness support. Formal CQW and DBIM certificates are issued by STQC. Security clearance requires evaluation by an eligible auditor. We help plan the handoff; we do not claim to be STQC or a CERT-In-empanelled auditor.
Understand the official certification process ↗05 / A LITTLE MORE CLARITY
Good questions.
Straight answers.
Have a specific requirement in your tender or project scope?
Let’s work through it ↗What’s the difference between GIGW and DBIM?+
GIGW covers quality, accessibility, cybersecurity, and lifecycle management. DBIM sets out a consistent digital identity and experience for government platforms. They work together; a visual redesign alone does not establish GIGW compliance.
Will Metric Vibes issue our STQC certificate?+
No. We support assessment, remediation, and evidence preparation. STQC Directorate issues formal CQW and DBIM certificates after its evaluation process. The independent evaluator, scope, and applicable fees need to be agreed separately.
Can you work with our existing development agency?+
Yes. We can give your team an actionable issue register and acceptance criteria, review proposed fixes, and retest agreed journeys. Alternatively, implementation support can be included in a scoped engagement.
Is an automated accessibility scan enough?+
No. Automated tools find some issues, but human review is needed for areas such as meaningful alternative text, keyboard journeys, form usability, and assistive technology behaviour. Our proposed assessment combines both, with scope documented upfront.
How long does an assessment take, and what does it cost?+
It depends on the number of websites, page templates, journeys, languages, documents, and integrations. After a scoping conversation, we provide a proposal with explicit coverage, milestones, responsibilities, and fees. Certification schedules depend on the authorised evaluator.
What do you need to get started?+
Your name, work email, organisation, and project goals are enough for the first conversation. The free sample report is available after submitting your contact details. Please do not email credentials or citizen data. Any access needed for detailed assessment is agreed through a secure process.
