In the digital world of education and training, online assessment security is no longer just an option — it’s essential.Whether you're testing academic knowledge, professional skills, or workplace readiness, maintaining trust in your assessment process is critical for credibility.

Laureate Online Testing is built with security at its core, offering smart, practical solutions to safeguard integrity while keeping the testing experience smooth and supportive.

Here’s how Laureate Online Testing protects every step of your assessments:


  1. Smart Authentication and Access Control

    Security starts before the test even begins.Laureate allows administrators to control access through features like:

    • Login-required tests for external candidates

    • One-time secure test links with customizable expiry times

    • Agent-level permissions to manage who can create and distribute test links

    By controlling how tests are accessed, you drastically reduce unauthorized entry or misuse.


  2. Browser Lockdowns for a Cheating-Free Zone

    Once inside the test, Laureate can activate browser lockdowns, preventing students from opening new tabs, searching for answers, or copying content.This creates a focused testing environment that mimics in-person proctoring — without the overhead of additional software.


  3. Photo Verification for Added Assurance

    Laureate Online Testing offers photo capture features during assessments.With the option to take two photos per section, administrators can:

    • Verify student identity

    • Check for external assistance

    • Provide visual proof attached to test results if needed

    This extra layer of monitoring builds confidence in results without the need for intrusive video surveillance.


  4. Randomization Keeps Each Test Unique

    To minimize cheating opportunities even further, Laureate supports:

    • Randomized question selection

    • Randomized section selection for multi-version tests

    Each student sees a slightly different test — making it nearly impossible to share answers or memorize question orders.


  5. Real-Time Monitoring and Post-Test Analysis

    Security doesn’t end once the test is submitted.Through Laureate’s dashboard, you can:

    • Review detailed student activity logs

    • Check any flagged anomalies

    • Analyze answer patterns to detect inconsistencies

    • Export and archive results securely

    Combined with the platform’s robust analytics, this ensures that post-assessment reviews are just as rigorous as the live experience.


Conclusion: Security Without the Stress

Laureate Online Testing balances rigorous test security with an experience that is user-friendly for students and powerful for administrators. By integrating smart authentication, live monitoring, randomization, and thorough post-test reporting, it protects the integrity of your assessments without creating unnecessary friction.

With Laureate, you can be confident that every test truly reflects your students' or candidates' real skills and knowledge — no shortcuts, no compromises.
