Secure Exam
We make sure the user sees only allowed content during the exam, and the computer stays protected against cheating tools — from the first second to the last question.
Why Secure Exam
Every feature is built for one goal — a fair, uninterrupted exam.
Kiosk mode
A full-screen window with no way to exit, switch windows, or reach the desktop during the exam.
Exam URL
The browser opens straight into the exam system automatically — no extra steps for the user.
URL whitelist
Only pre-approved addresses are allowed — any other page is blocked automatically.
Cheat-tool blocking
Screen recording, remote-access, and chat application processes are blocked during the exam.
Admin protection
The browser can only be closed or reconfigured with an administrator password.
Ad blocking
Distracting ads and trackers are blocked so attention stays on the exam.
Keyboard control
System shortcuts (Alt+Tab, Win, Ctrl+Esc, etc.) are blocked during the exam.
Multilanguage
The interface adapts to each institution — full language selection and WCAG accessibility.
Activity log
All important events are recorded and, if enabled, securely sent to a central server.
Automatic updates
The browser checks for the latest version before every exam and notifies the administrator.
How an exam session works
From setup to finish — four simple steps.
Setup
The administrator installs the secure browser on workstation computers. Security policies and settings can be applied locally or fetched centrally.
Check
On startup, the browser checks the applied security policies; if configured to use a central server, it verifies the latest security policy is applied and checks the browser version.
Exam
The secure browser window opens in full-screen mode — access to other applications and keyboard shortcuts are blocked by the security policies.
Finish
When the exam ends, the invigilator closes the browser by entering a password via a special key combination in the opened window. Once closed, all security policies are revoked.

LMS and E-Assessment Platform Compatibility
Secure Exam works with all major learning management and e-assessment systems.
No additional integration plugins are required — simply set the exam URL and URL whitelist. Any web-based testing platform accessible through a browser works with Secure Exam.
TAO Testing
Fully compatible with the TAO open-source e-assessment platform. The browser opens directly to the TAO test URL in kiosk mode; 1EdTech QTI 2.1, 2.2, and 3.0 content runs without restriction.
Moodle
Works with the Moodle Quiz module. Add the Moodle test URL to the whitelist and students see only the exam page while the administrator monitors the activity log.
Canvas (Instructure)
Compatible with Canvas LMS Quiz and New Quizzes. Secure Exam acts as a secure browsing shell — no additional LTI plugin is required.
Blackboard Learn
Integrates with Blackboard Tests & Surveys. Add the Blackboard server domain to the whitelist and the browser blocks everything outside it.
Open edX
Compatible with Open edX / edX platforms. Kiosk mode prevents opening backup windows or accessing any other content during the test.
Chamilo LMS
Works with the Chamilo quiz module. Simple configuration — just the Chamilo test URL and, if needed, the deployment domain in the whitelist.
ILIAS
Compatible with the ILIAS testing module. Widely used by exam institutions in Germany and Switzerland — Secure Exam complements ILIAS security policies perfectly.
Other platforms
Any other web-based testing system — Google Forms, Microsoft Forms, or custom exam portal solutions — works with Secure Exam as long as it is accessible through a browser.
1EdTech QTI Standard Support
Secure Exam is fully compatible with all current versions of the 1EdTech Question & Test Interoperability standard.
All core item types supported: single choice, multiple choice, match, gap fill, and simple text entry. Response processing runs in the browser or server-side depending on the platform.
Full compatibility with QTI 2.2 extensions: extended text responses, math entry fields, and enhanced accessibility metadata. Used by TAO, ILIAS, and many national exam systems.
The latest 1EdTech standard with JSON-LD descriptors, improved accessibility, and a modular content structure. Full browser environment fidelity — JavaScript interactions, CSS styling, and media render exactly as authored.
Content runs in the Microsoft Edge WebView2 engine (Chromium-based) — the same rendering pipeline as Edge, so QTI content authors see no unexpected differences between authoring and exam environments.
