What ProctorNow is
ProctorNow is a remote proctoring service from Internet Testing Systems for low-to-mid-stakes test programs. Candidates begin with a live human greeter and do not need an appointment. During readiness and testing, real-time text and voice support is available, and the maker says candidates use one app across its platform. AI monitoring detects anomalies such as multiple faces, unexpected sounds, or suspicious behavior. A human proctor can intervene when needed, and ITS-employed staff review every exam. Candidates can use a secondary camera for another viewpoint. ProctorNow’s secure browser blocks unauthorized applications and remote access tools; the listed capabilities also include browser lockdown and screen recording. ITS says its test driver delivers millions of exams annually. The company recommends test-center delivery for high-stakes certification or licensure exams rather than using ProctorNow for those programs. Listed platforms are macOS, web, and Windows. ITS says assessment data is stored on US servers, access is limited on a need-to-know basis, and transfers are encrypted in transit. Pricing is on request.

Who it suits

Verdict
ProctorNow combines automated anomaly detection with human oversight and candidate support. Its stated scope is low-to-mid-stakes testing, so high-stakes certification or licensure programs should use test-center delivery.
