More test takers and their exam administrators are expanding their courses and exams to online platforms. This leads to an increase of test-taker data being transferred and stored. It also leads to concern over the security of that data.
At Proctorio, keeping test taker’s data secure is our top priority. This is why our security has gone through years of testing and is tailored to protect you and your exam data.
Our Test-Taker’s data (including all video, screen and audio recordings) is secured and processed through three layers of encryption:
Let’s breakdown that last and most important layer: zero-knowledge encryption.
Proctorio utilizes zero-knowledge encryption, which means we have zero access to the encrypted data on our own servers. This unique design allows nothing to leave your computer until after it is encrypted. Data never becomes unencrypted until it's unlocked by an authorized school official. It’s not just end-to-end encryption, it’s a zero-knowledge system.
Our platform goes through daily vulnerability and penetration tests to assess the strength of our systems against a potential attack. Partnered institutions can see these daily vulnerability scans under an NDA. This creates a security system you can trust.
Proctorio never requires test-takers to provide personal information (PII) to access an exam. Students simply sign in their LMS with their institution’s credentials and access their assessment. For third party platforms, a unique passcode is generated and managed by Proctorio, so that the students can access the exam effortlessly even when taking the exam outside of their LMS and/ or testing platform.
The exam data is transferred and stored with zero-knowledge encryption, and can only be accessed by your exam administrators.
