Who’s Behind the Screen? Why Remote Invigilation Needs Continuous Identity Checks?

When exams move online, the question isn’t just what students know. It’s who is actually taking the test. The biggest risk in remote invigilation today is impersonation. A student can simply hire a proxy– someone else to log in and take the exam. At that moment, your assessment loses all credibility. Degrees, certifications, licenses– all devalued.

And if you’re running large- scale exams, this isn’t a one- off problem. It’s systemic. Thousands of candidates logging in at once make identity verification nearly impossible without the right technology.

Why Manual Checks Don’t Work?

The logic seems simple: check IDs before the exam starts. But in practice, it collapses.

  • Thousands of candidates would need to be verified one by one.
  • Exams would be delayed for hours.
  • Institutions might resort to spot checks, letting many impersonators slip through.

Manual identity verification simply doesn’t scale in remote invigilation.

One-Time AI Isn’t Enough

Why One-Time AI Isn’t Enough?

AI-powered facial recognition has become the go- to solution for remote exams. Candidates show an ID, snap a live selfie, and get verified instantly. It’s quick, scalable, and accurate.

But here’s the flaw: it only works at the start. Once inside, nothing prevents a candidate from switching with a proxy. The system thinks the verified student is taking the test– but in reality, it’s already compromised.

That’s the weakness of most remote invigilation systems: they stop checking after the door is open.

DigiProctor’s Answer: Continuous Identity Verification

DigiProctor closes this loophole with continuous identity verification- an innovation built specifically for secure remote invigilation.

  • Scalable Entry with AI: Thousands of candidates can log in at once. DigiProctor instantly matches live facial scans with registered profiles, ensuring 100% verification without bottlenecks.
  • Ongoing Monitoring: Unlike one- time checks, DigiProctor keeps verifying identity during the exam. If someone else tries to take over, the system detects the change and flags or blocks the test.

The result: no proxies, no impersonation, no compromise.

Continuous Identity Verification

Why It Matters?

Remote invigilation is only as strong as its ability to confirm who’s really there. Without continuous verification, you’re vulnerable to the simplest and most damaging form of cheating.

With DigiProctor, institutions finally get a system that scales to any exam size while protecting integrity from start to finish. The outcome is simple: results you can trust, credentials that hold value, and the confidence that the person behind the screen is the person who earned it.
