ABOUT INTEGRITY ADVOCATE

Powered by people.
Driven by what we believe.

We’re building the future of assessment integrity through responsible technology, human judgment, and people committed to getting it right.

Protecting people, programs, and the trust behind every result

Behind every assessment is a person, and behind every program is a reputation worth protecting. A wrongful integrity finding can affect someone’s future, while an outcome that cannot be defended can erode years of institutional trust.

As technology and AI reshape assessment security, programs need a partner prepared for what comes next—one that combines scalable automation with verified human review to deliver fair, defensible outcomes.

OUR VALUES

What we believe, what guides us and what we build toward

These principles shape how we build, how we hire, how we work, and how we support the people and programs that rely on us.

Humans in the loop. Always.

Automated flags are signals, not decisions. Every flagged session is reviewed by a trained person so outcomes are grounded in context, fairness, and judgment.

Privacy-first, by design

We collect only what is necessary and retain only what is required. Every test taker’s data is handled with care, discipline, and respect.

Outcomes worth standing behind

Everything we build serves one goal: results that programs can confidently defend under appeal, audit, or scrutiny.

Simplicity wins

Security should be powerful, not complicated. We design for simplicity, making it easy for test takers to start, admins to manage, and programs to scale.

Trusted partnerships

We earn trust through clear communication, responsive support, and a long-term commitment to every client we serve.

Focused team. Serious impact.

We stay close to the work and accountable for the results. Every person owns something meaningful and sees the impact of what they build.

OUR TEAM

The people behind every defensible outcome

Integrity Advocate is a distributed team across Canada and the United States, united by one goal: helping organizations issue results they can confidently stand behind.

The Advocates

REMOTE-FIRST, REAL CONNECTION

Distributed across time zones.
Tight as any office team.

We've been remote-first since before it was a selling point. We make a point of getting together in person every year, because some things are better done face to face.

Fully remote

Work where you do your best. Great collaboration doesn't require an office.

We meet in person

Remote by design. Connected in person each year.

Built on trust

We hire good people, give them ownership, and avoid unnecessary bureaucracy.

Work that matters

We're motivated by solving problems that make a real difference.

We are hiring

Want to help us build something worth standing behind?

We're looking for people who care about the work, take ownership seriously, and want to be part of a team that's genuinely trying to get this right. If that's you, we'd like to hear from you.
