Lock Down Devices Before Your Next Exam Starts- Here’s How?

Imagine this scenario: a candidate logs in to take your exam, but secretly, they are running hidden software, switching screens, or accessing external tools. The exam looks “normal” on the surface, but behind the scenes, they are cheating.

That’s why online assessment security is no longer optional; it is essential. Before the first question appears, your system must restrict access to everything else and ensure the candidate’s focus stays locked on the exam interface.

Why Device Lockdown Matters More Than Ever?

In a world where students can click away, open multiple windows, run remote access apps, or even mirror screens to other devices, your exam platform needs to enforce absolute control.

If you leave any door open, be it a background app, an ALT- TAB switch, or an unauthorised browser, someone will find it. Without device lockdown, your online assessment security is compromised, and every online exam carries a risk of fraud.

DigiProctor’s Controlled Device Navigation: The Game Changer.

DigiProctor already uses Deep Proctoring and a next- generation Lockdown Browser to stop cheating.

With Controlled Device Navigation, DigiProctor ensures Online Assessment Security by:

• Locking down the candidate’s computer so they cannot open new applications, jump to other tabs, or access unauthorised software.
• Blocking keyboard shortcuts, OS- level navigation commands (like ALT+TAB, CTRL+ESC) to prevent accidental or intentional breaches.
• Keeping the exam interface as the only accessible window.
• Flagging or pausing the exam if any unauthorised actions are detected.

Because this control is enforced before the exam begins, there’s no chance for cheaters to sneak tools in mid- test.

The Real World Impact.

Every exam session becomes a fortress. Candidates can’t cheat by opening hidden tools, copying from background apps, or switching displays mid- test. The result: your assessments truly reflect the student’s effort, not their hacking skills.

This level of online assessment security, when combined with identity verification and environment checks, gives you a cheat resistant exam ecosystem.

Before You Start Your Next Exam.

• Activate Controlled Device Navigation so candidate machines are secured from day zero.
• Ensure lockdown mode activates just before exam access is granted.
• Monitor for any breakout attempts during the session.
• Pair device control with identity verification and environment scans (webcam, audio, room checks).

That’s how you turn trust into certainty.
