Best for medium-stakes exams with acceptable 24–48 hour turnaround. AI Integrity: Automated monitoring with 80–90% cost savings. Best for low-stakes, high-volume testing. Learn about AI Integrity.

Technical Questions
What are the system requirements for candidates?
Candidates need a computer or mobile device with camera, microphone, and stable internet connection (minimum 256 kbps). Supported platforms include Windows 10+, macOS 10.14+, Linux, Android 8.0+, and iOS 12.0+.
Do you integrate with learning management systems?
Yes, we integrate with major LMS platforms including Moodle, Canvas, Open edX, and Blackboard via LTI 1.3. We also support custom LMS integration through our API.
What happens if a candidate disconnects during the exam?
ProctorEdge automatically handles disconnections. Short disconnections (under 2 minutes) are recovered automatically without data loss. Longer disconnections trigger reconnection workflows with session continuity.
How does the secure browser work?
Our secure browser is a Chromium-based wrapper that locks down the exam environment. It disables copy/paste, blocks virtual machines, prevents multi-monitor usage, and detects forbidden applications. It's available for all major platforms.
Security & Compliance
How do you handle data privacy under DPDP?
ProctorEdge is fully aligned with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP). We maintain lawful basis registry, provide transparent consent prompts, support data subject rights, and offer India data residency options.
Can you align to our ISO 17024 scheme and audit evidence needs?
Yes, ProctorEdge is designed for ISO/IEC 17024 compliance. We provide evidence-grade proctoring with complete audit trails, chain-of-custody documentation, and comprehensive incident management. Our controls can be mapped to your scheme documents.
What security certifications do you have?
We're on the roadmap for ISO 27001 (Information Security) and ISO 27701 (Privacy Management) certifications. We conduct regular external VAPT, maintain DPDP/GDPR compliance, and follow WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards.
How long do you retain exam data?
Data retention is configurable based on your requirements. Standard exams: 90–180 days. Certification exams: client-defined retention periods for audit and scheme requirements. Custom retention periods can be configured per client.
