Accessibility for Everyone

We endeavor to make Ísland.is accessible for all users. This means that services must be usable for people with disabilities, older people and people who have difficulties using digital interfaces. We work with various specialists in these fields to ensure a continued emphasis on accessibility as we grow and develop.

User-Centered Design

Our work centers on the idea that everyone benefits when our services are built first and foremost to deliver the best possible experience for end users. We strive to offer easy-to-use, integrated services in coordination with the various public institutions so that users will no longer need to visit multiple offices to complete their tasks.

Go Online and Go Green

Establishing a network of digital services have a positive impact on our environment. Moving to an online platform, we support paperless processes and also reduce the need to drive to various offices.

Open-Source Software

All the code written for the new Ísland.is has been made open-source. It's our aim that all the software development we undertake is open and readily available since it is a resource we all share in.

Online Security and Data Protection

The services accessed through Ísland.is may involve sensitive personal information. For that reason there has been much emphasis placed on security issues at all phases of development. We do not use analytics that collect personal data. Furthermore, all services developed by Digital Iceland are subject to regular review carried out by a third party to reveal any hidden vulnerabilities.
