Iron Mountain PCS 6.10.0 Release Notes

This release includes bug fixes and enhancements.

One of the important items we are addressing is around Accessibility, such as:

Color contrast… Why does it matter?

Some people with low vision experience low contrast, meaning that there aren't many bright or dark areas. Everything tends to appear about the same brightness, which makes it hard to distinguish outlines, borders, edges, and details. Text that is too close in luminance (brightness) to the background can be hard to read including certain colors and color combinations. PCS portals now use web accessible colors with appropriate contrast as per web content accessibility guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 making it easier for color blind users to consume information while hardly affecting those with normal vision.

Consistent with WCAG 2 AA contrast ratio thresholds, color contrast has been modified to at least 4.5:1 for small text or 3:1 for large text, even if text is part of an image. Large text has been defined in the requirements as 18pt (24 CSS pixels) or 14pt bold (19 CSS pixels).

Ensure all content be contained in landmarks… Why does it matter?

Navigating a web page is far simpler for screen reader users if the content splits between multiple high-level sections. These high-level sections (landmarks) are titled appropriately to let users understand their purpose. This way, users can easily skip to the required section using external tools like screen readers and browser extensions. Content outside of landmarks is difficult to find, and the content's purpose may be unclear.

All content is now contained in the landmarks within the default Policy Center IG Portal: Classic View
