What ProctorFree is
ProctorFree provides on-demand online proctoring for higher education institutions, professional organizations, and other groups that oversee exams. Options include fully automated proctoring, human-assisted proctoring, Secure Browser, and assessment delivery. Automated sessions record exams and process session data to flag suspicious behavior; facial detection supports authentication, with identity verification continuing during the exam. Administrators receive a report highlighting anomalies after a session and decide whether behavior violated exam rules. Secure Browser adds a layer of protection for web-based exams and locks down exam content. Listed learning management integrations include Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace by D2L, Moodle, and Udutu; testing integrations include Digital Chalk and Gauge by Test.com. Institutions can also connect through custom APIs to their test delivery engines. ProctorFree says it is FERPA compliant and uses encryption, tokenized LTI access where possible, and retention limited to contractual requirements. It announced SOC 2 Type 2 compliance on May 20, 2026. Pricing is on request, with a 30-day free trial. Support is available 24/7 by live chat and email.
