Customizable Online Proctoring
Multi-Mode / Customizable Proctoring
Multi-Mode or Customizable Proctoring is an administrative framework that allows testing coordinators to toggle and configure security parameters based on the specific stakes, format, and requirements of each exam. Rather than applying a single fixed level of monitoring to every assessment, administrators select from a range of adjustable settings to build a proctoring profile that is appropriately calibrated for each use case.
Highlighted in recent blog posts "Customizable Online Proctoring for Every Exam", this refers to the 20+ adjustable parameters on the platform. Not every exam carries the same risk profile, and applying maximum security to a low-stakes practice quiz creates unnecessary friction for candidates while consuming institutional resources. Customizable proctoring addresses this by giving administrators granular control over more than 20 adjustable parameters on the Proctor360 platform, allowing security to be precisely matched to the weight of the assessment.
At the lower end, a formative quiz might require only basic AI monitoring with minimal restrictions. A mid-tier course exam might combine AI auto-proctoring with identity verification and a secured browser environment. A high-stakes professional certification may warrant full 360 Total View™ hardware, live human oversight, biometric authentication, and the strictest available digital controls. The same platform supports all of these configurations, and coordinators can move between them without switching tools or vendors.
This flexibility serves two important goals. First, it prevents over-proctoring, the application of heavy monitoring to assessments where it is disproportionate to the stakes, which degrades candidate experience and erodes trust in the proctoring process without meaningful security benefit. Second, it ensures that when maximum compliance is required, every available layer of protection is in place and properly configured.
Customizable proctoring also allows institutions to standardize their approach across programs with different needs. A university running both low-stakes quizzes and accreditation-level capstone exams can manage both within a single administrative environment, with security profiles documented, repeatable, and auditable. As assessment programs grow and evolve, the ability to adjust monitoring without rebuilding infrastructure from scratch is a practical advantage that compounds over time.
