NORTIC A2 Certification: What It Is and How to Comply with the Dominican State Standard

If you are part of a public institution in the Dominican Republic, you have likely heard of the NORTIC A2 standard. Created by the OGTIC (Government Office of Information and Communication Technologies), this regulation ensures that all Dominican State web media are accessible, transparent, and secure.

At Globetec Technology Group, we specialize in helping government institutions adapt their web portals to comply with all NORTIC A2 requirements, ensuring a seamless certification process without technical delays.

What is the NORTIC A2 Standard?

The NORTIC A2 (Norma para el Desarrollo y Gestión de los Medios Web del Estado Dominicano) establishes the guidelines that public portals must follow. Its main objective is to standardize the digital presence of the state, ensuring that citizens have easy and secure access to public information.

Key Technical Requirements for Certification

Achieving this certification goes beyond having a nice-looking website. It requires strict adherence to technical and structural guidelines:

  • Web Accessibility (WCAG): The portal must be usable by people with visual, motor, or cognitive disabilities.
  • Transparency Portal: A standardized section containing budget execution, payrolls, and public purchases.
  • Security and Hosting: Advanced SSL certificates, protection against DDoS attacks, and secure server environments.
  • Responsive Design: Perfect adaptability to all mobile devices and tablets.
  • Standardized Header and Footer: Inclusion of official state logos and navigation standards.

Failure to comply with NORTIC A2 not only affects the institution's evaluation in the SISMAP rating system but also limits citizen transparency and trust.
