Integrated Security

With features designed to support every learning situation from high-stakes assessments to final exams, Integrity Advocate helps institutions protect and uphold assessment integrity.

With the risk of malware that is associated with plug-ins, extensions and any third-party software it was immensely important that Integrity Advocate could run without an installation. A lack of an installation requirement also supports utilizing organizations trying to avoid application installs by their end-users because of the extensive support needs and the additional liability.

In an increasingly mobile world, it’s crucial that you meet your learners where they are. With nothing to install and no plugins required, Integrity Advocate can be accessed on any device using a secure browser. Tablets, Chromebooks, laptops, desktops, and mobile devices are all welcome.

Protect academic integrity during assessments with Expose AI. When this feature is activated, we will monitor for and expose the use of AI assistive plugins that have infiltrated your LMS.

No scheduling ever required. Our identity verification, participation monitoring, and proctoring services are available 24/7 for learners across the globe. And whether it’s a single test of a few students or institution-wide program monitoring, we’ll scale and staff according to your needs.

Innovative low bandwidth protection provides continuity of service no matter the learner's internet connection, providing a wide range of services where competitors cannot operate. Your proctoring service should never be the reason your learners can’t write an exam or participate in a course.

Built on Privacy by Design principles, Integrity Advocate believes that privacy is best protected not through promises of data encryption, safeguards, and software limitations, but by limiting the information that is collected, retained, and shared. With Integrity Advocate, learners never have to share unnecessary personal information to complete a learning event.

Our team is available to support your learners all day, every day with a comprehensive self-serve knowledge base and 24-hour live chat, email, and phone support.

If a learner is not allowed to access additional monitors/desktops during their event, and one is accessed, the action will be flagged as a potential violation. Control over the user’s device is not restricted and device security settings are not altered but rather monitored and flagged accordingly.  

Students can access our service within seconds without leaving the page and without a separate login or password. From your learners' perspective, we’re a natural extension of your learning and development environment.

You can customize the ruleset of appropriate behavior that we monitor for and flag. From identity verification and participation monitoring to our full suite of academic rules, the power is yours to select and deselect rules as needed.

We believe that our application needs to be simple, intuitive and seamless. It should also be accessible for differently-abled users or those who require special accommodations like screen readers. We didn’t just complete our Voluntary Product Assessment Template (VPAT); we continually optimize for accessibility with every release. Integrity Advocate is W3C WCAG 2.0 AA conformant.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with our LMS partners, with Integrity Advocate you have full access to session data within your LMS. Learners can see their own results while admins have access to all participant results and the ability to have results trigger or withhold further access, certificates, and more.

A true SaaS solution, our standard LMS integration removes the requirement for administrators to review or release results. And our integrated Override feature gives your staff the oversight and final say without the added administrative tasks.

Human reviewers leverage artificial intelligence to guide them to potential rule violations, but we never allow machine technology to make the final decision, giving reviewers the power to show discretion when needed.

Choose from a variety of approved identity verification options, including school ID, government ID, and even no ID for young learners.

When your content is too important for your personnel or students to miss, we make sure they’re doing more than just logging on. Because when education is a matter of regulatory compliance or life and death, engagement and participation matters.

Protect academic integrity during high-stake assessments with full-screen monitoring. When this feature is activated, our technology flags every time a participant moves to different programs or tabs on their device.

Integrity Advocate at no point collects, uses, and/or discloses biometric identifiers and/or biometric information. Any future use of biometrics under consideration would restrict the usage to within users device, and at no time would leave the device.

‍

As an additional security measure, a learner’s device can be checked to discourage the use of web conferencing technologies. At the point a user shares their screen, a screenshot is taken and reviewed to ensure programs like Zoom, Goto, Teams, Webex, and/or Meet are not in use. The use of such technologies would enable the possibility of another individual to provide assistance and the answering of questions.
