Abstract
The integration of Assistive Technologies (AT) within Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) is pivotal for fostering inclusive digital environments, particularly for neurodiverse workforces. While AT empowers individuals with disabilities to overcome systemic barriers to employment, it concurrently introduces unique cybersecurity and privacy risks due to the sensitive nature of the user data it handles. This report underscores the critical need for robust information security in such contexts. This report demonstrates how ISO 27001 serves as a foundational framework for achieving a balance between stringent security requirements and essential accessibility needs. Drawing from a detailed case study of a Canadian SME, the report highlights key adaptive strategies, including customized security training, collaborative risk management, and the crucial role of co-creating security policies with neurodiverse employees. These practices illustrate that security and accessibility are not mutually exclusive objectives but rather complementary goals that, when aligned, significantly enhance both compliance and operational efficiency. The analysis reinforces that a proactive, user-centric approach to information security is vital for protecting sensitive AT data, strengthening organizational resilience, and ultimately paving the way for a more equitable and inclusive digital future.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
