What Inspera Integrity Browser is
Inspera Integrity Browser is a desktop lockdown browser for online assessments. It controls which device content and applications candidates can access, with options for strict lockdown or permission to use selected materials such as specified PDFs and URLs. When paired with Inspera Assessment, it can block access to other device content, copying and pasting into or out of the exam environment, and screenshots. It works with Inspera Assessment and Inspera Proctoring; with Inspera Resilience Proctoring, invigilators can use video, audio, and screen recording. Institutions may enable up to five third-party applications, but this requires service desk activation and a qualifying Windows version, and is not available on macOS. Students install it from their institution’s Inspera portal. It stays inactive until the institution sets up an assessment, and updates automatically when launched. It supports Windows and macOS, but not Linux, Chromebooks, virtual machines, tablets, or phones. The browser is a paid add-on to an Inspera Assessment license, with pricing on request.
