Know when your policies are missing or out of date
Government and public-sector websites are required to publish specific policy pages and disclosures. Govzu continuously scans for missing, broken, or outdated compliance pages — so you're never caught without required documentation.
Compliance Monitoring checks in Govzu
Every check runs automatically on your schedule. Issues are prioritized by severity so your team knows exactly where to focus.
Policy page presence
Detects whether required pages like Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and Accessibility Statement are linked from key pages.
Cookie consent banners
Verifies that cookie consent notices appear on first visit and that opt-out mechanisms function correctly.
ADA accessibility notice
Checks for a published ADA accommodation notice including contact information for requesting assistance.
The compliance case for compliance monitoring
Government agencies are legally required to publish certain disclosures and notices. The ADA requires agencies to have a grievance procedure. State and federal privacy laws require clear disclosure of data collection practices. Missing or buried policy pages expose agencies to complaints, audits, and legal liability.
Govzu checks every monitored site against a library of required disclosure patterns, flagging missing pages before they become a compliance incident.
What a flagged compliance monitoring issue looks like
Govzu surfaces issues with clear context so your team can understand and act without decoding technical jargon.
Missing Privacy Policy link in footer
No link to a Privacy Policy was detected in the site footer. Most state and federal regulations require a privacy notice to be accessible from every page.
Cookie banner does not appear on first visit
The site sets analytics cookies before a user has acknowledged the cookie notice. This may violate state privacy laws and GDPR for EU visitors.
Accessibility Statement contact info outdated
The Accessibility Statement lists a contact email that returns a bounce. Users who need accommodations cannot reach your team.
