Security and Accessibility
MANUAL is deeply dedicated to platform security and accessibility. In addition to standard risk management protocols (e.g., insurance certificates per customer request, crisis protocols and mandatory sensitivity training for Men's Guides), we regularly conduct thorough security and accessibility reviews. The MANUAL platform has been evaluated using standard security assessments such as the HECVAT, and is committed to improving its scores on this and other assessments. We view platform security and accessibility as ongoing investments and prioritize improvements to these attributes alongside optimizations and new feature development.
