Remote Invigilation Software
Digital invigilation that works in any modern browser — no extensions, no apps, no video upload.
Browser-native SDK — no apps or extensions for candidates.
Metadata-only sync, ideal for rural and mobile candidates.
Data minimization designed for European institutions.
Modern remote invigilation
Remote invigilation — monitoring candidates during online exams — has traditionally relied on browser extensions, desktop apps, and continuous video upload. These approaches create friction, privacy concerns, and compliance challenges.
ProctorSafe offers a browser-native alternative designed for European universities, certification providers, and testing organizations.
How it works
- Embed the SDK in your assessment platform (Moodle, Canvas, custom LMS, or EdTech app)
- Candidates start the exam in their browser — no installation step
- Local monitoring captures integrity signals during the session
- Reviewers analyze event timelines and trust scores in the dashboard
Benefits over traditional invigilation
| Aspect | Traditional invigilation | ProctorSafe |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Browser extension or app required | None — browser-native SDK |
| Video handling | Full upload to vendor cloud | Local processing, no upload |
| Candidate experience | High friction, privacy concerns | Lower friction, privacy-first |
| GDPR alignment | Often challenging | Built-in data minimization |
| Bandwidth | High (video upload) | Low (metadata only) |
Who uses remote invigilation
- Universities running online exams and remote coursework assessments
- Certification bodies delivering professional licensing exams
- Language testing organizations monitoring speaking and writing components
- EdTech platforms embedding integrity into SaaS assessment products
Trust Score: reviewer triage without video review
ProctorSafe computes an Integrity Budget (0–100) for every session server-side using a deterministic, rule-based algorithm. Violations are deducted by severity (CRITICAL, MAJOR, MINOR) and normalised by session duration, so a brief tab switch in a 3-hour exam weighs differently from the same action in a 15-minute quiz.
Reviewers see the score in the dashboard and drill into the event timeline only for sessions that warrant it. Most sessions can be cleared without watching any footage — because there is no footage to watch.
