Keep your test secure and your reputation intact
Your exam program’s value is no small thing. Those who earn your credential demonstrate a commitment to the highest professional standards. Preserving that value while maintaining candidate trust and protecting your reputation means understanding and skillfully navigating security risks. But how do you plan for the unknown?
Start by working with us, the market leader in securing exam programs. From the creation of your first test question, through proctoring, and until the final scores are issued, we stay actively engaged in protecting your program. We do that by pairing advanced technology with the industry’s largest security team to safeguard your complete testing landscape. We’ll help you identify the biggest threats, then develop a strategy to fight them — so you can breathe easier, knowing we’re right beside you.
Invest in end-to-end exam protection
These days, the greatest threats to exam integrity are cheating, proxy testing, and item harvesting. And because these practices will evolve, we’ll make sure your security plans do too. We look at your entire exam lifecycle, because we know a strategy that leaves a few stones unturned won’t get the job done. Instead, we combine advanced technologies and human expertise to help you place intelligence-driven protections across all facets of your testing program.
Active intelligence
We are actively engaged in protecting your exam program, employing a robust set of tools, technology, and expertise to recognize dynamic threats and mitigate their impact before they reach you. This intelligence-driven approach to the ever-evolving test security landscape means you can rest easy.
Develop a plan with our Secure Testing Framework™
Your testing program was built with integrity. To preserve that integrity, you need a cohesive approach to security that considers every potential threat. Using our proven Secure Testing Framework, together we’ll develop a plan that integrates security into every element of exam development and delivery.
Using a 360-degree coverage model, we work to proactively detect and prevent misconduct before and during exams. On the rare occasions when someone successfully commits a fraudulent act, our investigative response team meticulously reconstructs what occurred to ensure appropriate action can be taken.
Protect exam content with smart publishing and delivery tools
No matter what type of testing you do — Linear, CAT, or LOFT — or how often you publish content, our security measures preserve your exam content throughout its lifecycle. With our ExamDeveloper tool, your team can develop content collaboratively and securely. And: our certified proctors and thorough screening processes keep test delivery secure, extending the life of your exam content.
Verify identities with leading technology
Confirming test-taker identity protects your industry, community, and the value of your credential. That’s why we painstakingly verify the identity of every person who sits for an exam. Not only do we compare photo IDs and digital signatures in real time and against previous tests, but we can also use palm vein biometric screening, a non-invasive and highly accurate measure of identity. Whether your exam is delivered in a test center or through OnVUE, we use the latest identity management technology to ensure your candidates are who they say they are.
Defend your data with expert cyber defenses
Exam security is at the heart of every business decision we make. Those decisions are led by our dedicated team of cybersecurity experts, test security professionals, and special investigators. These seasoned professionals adhere to global security and privacy standards, using robust data analytics and forensics to safeguard your program.
