In August 2026, accessibility experts at Proper Access independently retested the Mave player and its related transcript and file components. The result: the player meets all tested WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA success criteria, with no accessibility findings left open.

Most organizations that use WordPress want video to feel simple. They simply want to publish a customer story, add a product video, share an internal update, or make a campaign page more engaging. But video in WordPress is often more complicated than it should be.

Most organizations that use video want some form of analytics. Probably not because they want to track people, but because they want to understand whether their content is working. A communications team wants to know if an important message is being watched. A marketing team wants to see if a campaign video helps engagement. A product team wants to understand if users are getting value from an onboarding video.

On January 1, 2027, the new Dutch Archives Act (Archiefwet) will come into effect. Earlier this year, the Dutch Senate approved the legislation, marking an important shift in how government information must be managed and preserved in the digital age.

A step towards stronger European control and reduced external dependency. Earlier, I wrote about the difference between EU-hosted infrastructure and actual data sovereignty. The core idea was simple: storing data in Europe does not automatically mean European organizations fully control their infrastructure.

Many platforms position themselves as “sovereign” because their infrastructure is located in Europe. At first glance, that sounds reassuring. Data stays inside the EU, under European hosting providers, inside European datacenters. But the physical location of your data is only part of the story.

Not everything that matters is visible. Performance and design are easy to judge, but security, privacy, and internal controls are not. Those are often the areas where the biggest risks sit.
