Protect the Integrity of Every Assessment.
Security should adapt to the assessment, not force every exam into the same delivery model. Layer identity, access, delivery, monitoring and audit to match the stakes.

Integrity Starts Before Proctoring.
Identity verification, assessment controls, monitoring, intervention and auditability should work together, not as disconnected security tools.
Know Who Is Taking the Assessment.
Verify or control candidate access according to the approved process, with authentication, ID verification and face recognition, including offline facial recognition where configured.

Apply Roles, Permissions and Assessment Conditions.
Control who can open, edit, supervise or release an assessment, and what candidates can reach while it is running.

Use the Right Mode for the Assessment.
On-site, offline, remote or hybrid delivery, all governed through one institutional model and one evidence record.

Monitoring Is One Layer, Not the Whole Model.
Apply physical, recorded, live or AI-assisted monitoring where appropriate. AI flags support authorized human review. They are never treated as automatic proof of misconduct.

Permit Authorized Actions Within Policy.
Extend time, pause, re-admit or close a session through permitted, recorded actions rather than informal escalation.

Keep the Evidence Afterward.
Retain traceable records of relevant events and decisions, so integrity can be demonstrated, not just asserted.

Example records for illustration. Available controls depend on your configuration and policy.
When the Network Disappears, Integrity Doesn't.
Secure offline delivery reduces reliance on internet availability while limiting access to external online resources and AI services during controlled examinations.
- Connected
- Network unavailable
- Offline mode
- Assessment continues
- Reduced dependence on continuous internet.
- Restricted external online access in the configured offline mode.
- Protected response storage and later synchronization, where supported.
The Right Control for the Right Assessment.
Institutions decide the level of monitoring appropriate to each assessment. DigiAssess provides the configurable options.
Course exams that count. Add controlled access and recorded evidence.
Illustrative policy. Your institution decides which controls apply to each assessment type, and AI-generated signals always go to an authorized reviewer.

BYOD Without Giving Up Governance.
Let learners use compatible institutional or personal devices while assessment-specific controls stay in place. More capacity, less dependence on fixed labs.
- Institution-approved or compatible devices.
- Assessment-specific access controls.
- Pre-assessment readiness checks.
- A consistent candidate experience across supported devices.
Continuity Is Also an Integrity Issue.
An exam disrupted by connectivity isn't merely an IT problem. It affects fairness, operations and institutional confidence.
Without a continuity plan
- Exam starts for 240 candidates
- Campus network drops
- Responses can't be saved
- Session paused, re-sit under discussion
- Fairness questioned
With DigiAssess
- Exam starts for 240 candidates
- Campus network drops
- Offline mode continues, timer unaffected
- Coordinators see status and exceptions
- Exam completed, responses synchronized
Integrity is also operational reliability.
