PROOF OF IDENTITY. PROOF OF INTEGRITY.

Identity verification: the right person, every time

Human-reviewed identity verification confirms who is completing every assessment, so your program can issue results that are fair, trustworthy, and defensible.

OUR APPROACH TO IDENTITY VERIFICATION

Confirm participant identity for every assessment

Trusted results start with a verified identity. At session start, the test taker presents a photo ID and live photo, then moves straight into the assessment. A trained reviewer confirms the match and verifies the same person was present throughout the session.

Our proctoring process can accept driver’s licenses, passports, and other program-approved ID types

The whole process can be completed under two minutes, in the browser, with no downloads or installs

A trained reviewer will confirm and verify the identity match before the result is relied on

To protect users privacy, we allow test takers to redact sensitive ID details; only a name and face are needed

WHY VERIFICATION MATTERS

A login is not identity and unverified results are very hard to defend

Usernames and passwords confirm access, not identity. Without a verified person behind the session, programs face real risk from impersonation, proxy testing, credential fraud, and results that are difficult to defend.

Integrity Advocate verifies identity before the assessment begins, connecting each session to the right person and creating a clear record your program can stand behind.

OUR HUMAN APPROACH

Technology can capture an ID and a human makes the result defensible

Automated tools can scan IDs and flag mismatches, but they can miss the context behind non-standard documents, name variations, lighting issues, or accommodations. Integrity Advocate adds trained human review to every identity check. A real person confirms the match, applies program rules, and documents the decision, giving test takers a fair process and your program a record it can stand behind.

END-TO-END WORKFLOW

From ID capture to verified audit record

Every identity check follows a connected process before the assessment begins, creating a secure, time-stamped record your program can reference for appeals, audits, compliance reporting, accreditation reviews, or internal quality assurance.

Test taker presents ID

The test taker holds their program-approved photo ID up to the camera, using any accepted ID type your program allows.

Live photo captured

A real-time photo is captured and paired with the ID, using only the details needed to confirm identity.

Human reviewer verifies

A trained reviewer confirms the ID belongs to the test taker and applies program rules or accommodation context where needed.

Audit record created

A time-stamped, human-confirmed record is attached to the session, ready for review if the result is challenged.

Programs worldwide rely on Integrity Advocate for outcomes that are fair, trustworthy, and defensible

END-TO-END ASSESSMENT SECURITY

Identity verification is the first step in end-to-end assessment security

Integrity Advocate protects every stage of the assessment lifecycle. From confirming identity before the exam to monitoring the session and reviewing outcomes after, each layer works together to create a continuous chain of integrity.

Paso 1

Identity verification

Confirm the right person is starting the assessment with accepted ID checks, live photo capture, and human review.

Step 2

Online proctoring

AI-assisted monitoring flags unusual activity throughout the session. Human reviewers apply context before anything is reported, keeping the experience fair and defensible.

Step 3

Reviewed outcomes

Human-reviewed outcomes are documented and shared with your team, giving administrators a clear record for appeals, audits, compliance reporting, accreditation, or credential issuance.

AI-Only Proctoring Has a False Positive Problem. Here’s What That Costs Your Program.

AI-only proctoring flags behavior. It doesn't evaluate it. When automated systems skip human review, wrongful invalidations follow, and programs are left with outcomes they can't defend.

Identity verification confirms that the person starting an online assessment is the person authorized to take it. Integrity Advocate does this with an accepted photo ID, a live photo, and trained human review.

Automated tools can compare images, but they cannot always understand context. Human review helps account for non-standard IDs, name variations, accommodations, and edge cases, reducing the risk of unfair or hard-to-defend outcomes.

At the start of the session, the test taker presents a program-approved ID and live photo. A trained reviewer confirms the ID belongs to the person taking the assessment and creates a record tied to the session.

Integrity Advocate is designed to collect only what is necessary. Test takers can redact sensitive ID details, and only the information needed to confirm identity is used.

Identity verification is valuable for education institutions, certifying and awarding bodies, training providers, compliance programs, and any organization that needs to trust and defend online assessment results.
