VERIFIED BY HUMAN REVIEW™
AI can flag an event. People understand the context.
A glance away, unexpected sound, or someone entering the room can trigger an automated flag. But a flag alone doesn’t tell you what actually happened.
Integrity Advocate pairs intelligent detection with trained human review on every assessment, helping separate real integrity concerns from harmless moments before results reach administrators.
PRIVACY BY DESIGN
Protect the assessment. Not collect everything around it.
Online proctoring requires sensitive information. The question is what happens to it afterward.
Integrity Advocate is designed around data minimization. Rather than retaining complete assessment recordings by default, we focus on preserving the evidence organizations need to understand and defend integrity decisions.
FLEXIBILITY WITHOUT COMPROMISE
Proctor where your participants already are
Your assessment strategy shouldn't be dictated by a browser or device.
Integrity Advocate supports secure assessments across laptops, desktops, Chromebooks, tablets, and mobile devices, helping programs reach participants in classrooms, at home, at work, or in the field.
WORKS WITH YOUR ECOSYSTEM
Change your proctoring, not your workflow
Integrate Integrity Advocate with the LMS and assessment platforms your program already uses, without forcing participants into a separate testing experience.
Why organizations make the switch
“We used to use a proctoring solution that required someone to download it onto their computer and then run it. We had a lot of issues with the software crashing or people not being able to figure it out. So we needed to find a new solution.” Integrity Advocate was that new solution.
“A unique selling point for the project is that humans are reviewing the proctor sessions and we're not relying on technology. This ensures fair, accurate outcomes. Any queries or issues are reported back promptly, which means a quick response in relation to results for our learners.”
“Integrity Advocate works on all devices. We don't hear any complaints, you don't need to download any applications. The validation is very quick, the turnaround is very quick, the support is great, and it's on demand.”
