Commitment. Kieran Sky is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, in line with EU Web Accessibility Directive (2016/2102/EU) as transposed in Belgium, and the European Accessibility Act (Directive 2019/882/EU), and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA published by the W3C.
Conformance status. rlkestates.eu is designed to be partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. "Partially conformant" means that some content does not yet fully meet the standard.
Measures applied. Semantic HTML structure, keyboard-navigable interface, skip-to-content link, ARIA landmarks, sufficient colour contrast ratios (≥ 4.5:1 for body text), focus-visible indicators, accessible form controls with error messaging, alternative text for meaningful images, scalable text up to 200% without loss of content, and respect for user preferences (prefers-reduced-motion, prefers-color-scheme).
Known limitations. Some interactive elements (carousels, modals, sticky CTAs, decorative SVGs) may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA under all assistive-technology combinations. Long doctrine PDFs are tagged but may contain complex tables that screen readers traverse non-linearly. We actively test and remediate.
Testing approach. Automated evaluation via axe-core and Lighthouse. Manual evaluation via keyboard-only navigation, screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver), and 200% browser zoom. The site is reviewed against WCAG 2.2 quarterly.
Alternative formats. If you encounter an accessibility barrier, contact info@kieransky.com for the information in an accessible alternative format (accessible PDF, plain text, telephone discussion).
Feedback & enforcement. Accessibility feedback is welcomed and triaged within 5 business days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may refer the matter to the relevant equality body in Belgium.

Commitment. Kieran Sky ("the practice") supports the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the International Labour Organization (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. The practice acknowledges the Belgian Penal Code provisions on human trafficking (Articles 433quinquies through 433decies) and the EU Anti-Trafficking Directive (2011/36/EU).
Modern slavery. The practice commits to ensuring that no slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, or human trafficking takes place within its engagements, supply chain, or counterparty arrangements. This includes child labour, debt bondage, deceptive recruitment, and any restriction on freedom of movement.
Due diligence. Given the individual professional nature of this practice, the supply chain is limited (cloud hosting, software tooling, editorial vendors). Each supplier is risk-assessed at engagement and at annual renewal. Suppliers materially failing the assessment must remediate or be replaced.
Diversity & non-discrimination. Engagements are accepted without regard to gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, religion, or age. Counterparty conduct that is materially incompatible with these principles is grounds for engagement termination.
Training & awareness. The practitioner maintains current awareness of human-rights and anti-trafficking standards via continuing professional development under ISACA, (ISC)², and IRM.
Reporting concerns. Concerns relating to modern slavery, human trafficking, or any human-rights matter may be reported confidentially to info@kieransky.com. The practice will investigate, escalate where required, and cooperate with relevant authorities.
Review. This statement is reviewed annually and republished at the same URL.
Effective Date: 1 March 2026
Kieran Sky maintains a professional standard aligned with the codes of conduct of ISACA, (ISC)², IRM, and CIPP/E. Engagements are governed by:
Integrity. Advice is never shaped by financial, political, or personal interest. Conflicts of interest are disclosed in writing before engagement and at any point a conflict arises during delivery.
Confidentiality. All client data is handled at regulator-grade standard. No disclosure, identification, or cross-engagement reuse without written authorisation. Sensitive matters are subject to NDA and segregated storage.
Competence. Advice is provided only in areas where the practice has demonstrable expertise. Out-of-scope topics are escalated or declined — never bluffed.
Diligence. Contractual, regulatory, and confidentiality obligations are honoured in full. Engagements are delivered to procurement-grade artefact standard, on time, with documented evidence chains.
Independence. No referral fees, kickbacks, or undisclosed commissions are accepted from any third-party vendor or platform.
