Session #1 (Kickoff)
The new fraud landscape:
Exam security as a joint responsibility
Wednesday 4 March – 12.00 (CET) – Duration: 30 minutes
Exam fraud has evolved, and the ‘locked door approach’ is no longer enough.
This session explains how the risk landscape has shifted and why exam security must be treated as a shared operating model across people, process, and technology.
- Guest expert: Andrew Balch, Assessment & Platform Strategy Consultant – Certisense
- Host: Leslie Cottenjé, General Manager – assessmentQ
Session #2
To lock or not to lock?
The exam security trade-off
Wednesday 11 March – 12.00 (CET) – Duration: 30 minutes
Is a lockdown browser a silver bullet or a barrier to student experience?
In this session, we go beyond the tech specs to look at the Campus POV. We’ll explore the real-world friction of securing digital onsite exams and how to decide if a lockdown approach is a “must-have” or total overkill for your specific context.
- Guest expert: Benoît Finet, Head of the Educational Unit – Campus POV (Belgian Police School)
- Host: Aäron Claerhout, Product Manager – assessmentQ
Session #3
Fraud creativity in digital exams.
How to respond?
Wednesday 18 March – 12.00 (CET) – Duration: 30 minutes
Does moving from in-person to remote exams increase cheating – or simply change how it shows up?
In this session, discover how NAATI approached this question after transitioning from in-person to remote language testing, what real-world fraud patterns emerged, and how exam owners can adapt without overreacting or undermining trust.
- Guest expert: Michael Nemarich, Chief Operating Officer – National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI)
- Host: Pieter Pangat, Research Lead – assessmentQ
Session #4
Remote & onsite exams:
How exam design choices help prevent fraud before it happens
Wednesday 25 March – 12.00 (CET) – Duration: 30 minutes
Can fraud be prevented before the exam even starts – in both remote and on-site settings?
In this session, discover how exam design choices shape integrity long before supervision or enforcement comes into play. Drawing on IBEX’s experience across physical and digital exams, we explore how design can reduce fraud risk, keep security proportionate, and preserve candidate trust.
- Guest expert: Tom Huiskamp, Business Unit Manager – Kiwa Personal Certification
- Host: Laurent De Laere, Head of Customer Success – assessmentQ
Why this series? Why now?
High-stakes exams shape lives, careers, and public trust, and fraud tactics are escalating fast. AI-generated answers, identity manipulation, and coordinated collaboration are no longer edge cases; they’re becoming standard playbooks.
That’s why exam security can’t sit with one team or one tool. It’s a shared responsibility across assessment owners, processes, invigilators, and technology.
