Anti Cheating Features

Session recording and webcam snapshots

  • Helps resolve disputes or candidate challenges

Location access & IP address tracking

With IP and geolocation tracking, you can verify that assessments are taken from authorized locations. This helps prevent proxy test-taking and outsourced assessments.

  • Block unauthorized access or VPN masking
  • Adds a powerful layer of authentication

  • Minimizes distractions and side-searching
  • Increases engagement and integrity
  • Useful for all test types

Mouse-out & tab proctoring

Monitor how long a candidate’s mouse is outside the test area or how often they switch tabs. Set tolerance levels and auto-terminate based on severity.

  • Perfect for high-stakes roles or tests
  • Detects focus loss and suspicious actions
  • Customize thresholds based on your risk tolerance

  • Creates a sense of responsibility
  • Prevents test link sharing
  • Adds professionalism and control

Question-level activity logs

See how long each candidate spent on every question, if they switched tabs during specific answers, and whether their behavior aligned with expectations.
