ProctorEdu becomes OctoProctor, delivering a smarter, friendlier approach to remote proctoring while ensuring academic integrity and focusing on test-taker experience and privacy.
HERMOSA BEACH, Calif., May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, ProctorEdu announces our rebranding into OctoProctor — a name that reflects our platform's expanded capabilities and a renewed focus on the test-taker experience through human-centered technology. With this rebrand, we signal our next chapter: delivering science-backed, flexible, and privacy-conscious remote proctoring built for the needs of modern education, certification, and workforce assessments.
Why the change?
Because we're not just about online proctoring anymore. We're about helping universities, certifying bodies, and businesses create smooth, stress-free testing experiences that are fair for everyone — all backed by research and science.
Our new name, OctoProctor, captures our 10-year journey — from one of the first open-source tools to proctor one-on-one remote exams to a full suite supporting fair, easy, and respectful online assessments. It also symbolizes how our technology, experience, and research have come together to offer a flexible platform that protects academic integrity while prioritizing the people who use it.
Like the octopus — an extraordinary creature known for its intelligence, adaptability, and ability to manage multiple challenges at once — OctoProctor brings eight powerful capabilities together in one seamless system:
- Built on science and research: Developed by EdTech experts, including our CTO with a PhD in digital learning and assessment.
- Easy to integrate: Fully embeddable, OctoProctor fits right into existing tools, thus ensuring a consistent learning experience.
- No downloads: Runs in any modern browser. No additional extensions or plugins.
- Device-agnostic: Works with desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
- Highly configurable: Delivers adjustable security settings for different assessment types, from low-stakes quizzes to high-security certifications.
- Full control with on-prem version: Enables clients to host and manage their proctoring infrastructure internally while ensuring compliance with strict security and regulatory requirements.
- Scalability to support growth: Our cloud version scales effortlessly, ensuring predictable costs without sacrificing performance.
- Privacy concerns addressed: Gives test takers peace of mind with privacy-first proctoring that respects their space and boundaries.
Whether the priority is academic integrity, operational efficiency, fraud prevention, or regulatory compliance, OctoProctor offers flexible, scalable solutions tailored to your needs. Our platform already serves more than 200 customers and supports over 1 million remote exams a year with precision, transparency, and care — the octopi way.
