Exam security isn’t about control. It’s about confidence.
Exams are built on trust. Trust in the platform that delivers them, in the process that runs them, and in the people who take part.
That’s why, at assessmentQ, we see exam security as more than just fraud prevention. It’s about protecting credibility and fairness, so every result is defensible, and every candidate feels their effort is valued.
“Security at heart ensures every result is
a correct reflection of your candidate’s effort and skill.”
assessmentQ vision
For exam organisers
Protect your credibility
Security isn’t just about catching problems; it’s about preventing them and proving your process is solid. assessmentQ gives you the tools to maintain trust, compliance, and full control over every step.
- Layered fraud detection & compliance tools
- Transparent reporting that supports accreditation & accountability
- GDPR-compliant data handling & clear audit trails
Every decision, every result, every action can be traced and defended. That’s what credibility looks like.

- Transparent proctoring & assistive integrity tools
- Ethical AI & stress-free supervision without intrusion
- Seamless user experience that helps candidates focus on performance, not technology
Less stress, more confidence, and a stronger sense of fairness all around.
Before the exam
Build security into your exam design
The best way to stop cheating is to make it pointless. assessmentQ helps you design authentic, varied, and fair exams right from the start.
- Create authentic tests – Use 30+ question types to measure real competences, not just memory.
- Prevent copying – With assessmentQ’s ‘on-the-fly variants’, each candidate receives a unique mix of questions, making collaboration or cheating useless.
- Generate equivalent versions – Build exam blueprints that automatically create consistent, comparable variants, even for retakes.
- Protect your questions – Use structured item banks to ensure every exam feels fresh, keeping your content original and secure.
Bottom line: secure exams start with good design. Authenticity at scale is your strongest defense against fraud.
During the exam
Security that adapts to your setting
Every exam setting is different. Some happen on-site, others remotely. But wherever your candidates are, integrity should never come at the cost of a smooth experience. assessmentQ gives you the flexibility to apply the right level of protection for every situation, so both you and your test takers can focus on what really matters: flawless performance.
- For on-site and remote exams – Lock down the exam environment with Safe Exam Browser (SEB). It blocks unauthorised access to online resources, keeping every session focused, fair, and compliant.
- For on-site exams – Keep supervision light but effective with CheatGuard, assessmentQ’s assistive integrity layer. It detects suspicious behaviour without causing stress or technical issues, giving supervisors visibility and candidates smooth experiences.
- For remote exams – Choose from several trusted proctoring solutions that balance control and respect for privacy. assessmentQ integrates AI-assisted, GDPR-compliant tools that ensure fairness off-site just as much as in the exam hall.
After the exam
Turn results into lasting trust
Exam integrity doesn’t end when the exam is over. What happens after the session matters just as much.
- Detect anomalies and insights – Identify unusual patterns or irregularities with data-driven analytics.
- Defend every result – Make every decision traceable and defensible in audits or appeals.
- Handle reviews easily – Open secure, individual review windows when candidates need access to their results.
- Improve continuously – Use insights from past sessions to make future exams even fairer and more consistent.
Bottom line: fraud prevention is an ongoing cycle. With assessmentQ, you protect credibility today while improving exam fairness for tomorrow.
