SECURITY AND PRIVACY

Security protects data. Privacy protects people. Together, they protect trust.

From data collection to assessment review, every decision is made to protect the people, programs, and credentials that depend on us.

HOW WE PROTECT DATA

Safeguarding data at every level

Integrity Advocate collects only the information needed to deliver secure, fair assessments. Your organization remains in control of retention and deletion, with privacy protections built into every stage of the platform.

Supports GDPR, FERPA, and PIPEDA requirements
Zero data breaches in 12+ years

HOW WE PROTECT PEOPLE

Privacy by design

Privacy is about protecting people, not just information. We collect only what's needed, never sell participant data, and let organizations control data retention.

HOW WE APPROACH IT

Security and privacy built into every layer

We make intentional decisions about what data is collected, how it is protected, who can access it, and when it is deleted.

Minimal data collection

We collect only the information needed to verify identity, protect assessment integrity, and document outcomes.

Organization-controlled retention

Your organization determines how long assessment records are retained and when they are deleted.

Independent validation

Security controls are regularly tested through third-party audits and ongoing reviews.

No data sold. Ever.

Participant data is used only to support your assessment program; not advertising, data brokers, or unrelated purposes.

WHEN TRUST IS TESTED

Security that holds up when it's questioned

When an accreditor, regulator, employer, or participant asks how an assessment was protected, you need more than policies. You need clear records, independently validated practices, and evidence you can stand behind.

Support audits, accreditation reviews, and internal oversight with clear documentation.

Back assessment decisions with evidence, verified review, and consistent records.

Give participants, employers, and regulators greater confidence in the integrity of your program.

Adapt to evolving privacy, security, and accessibility requirements without rebuilding your approach.

Flag overload is one of the most common and least discussed problems in online proctoring. When AI-only systems flag everything from background noise to lighting changes, administrators are left sorting through queues of low-risk alerts to find the few that actually matter. This post explains why more flags do not equal more security, how human review filters out noise before it reaches the administrator queue, and what a smarter review model looks like in practice, including a side-by-side comparison of AI-only versus AI plus human review across flagging volume, admin workload, and decision quality.
