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 .
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:
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.
We are excited to update our brand to better reflect what our customers and test takers appreciate most about OctoProctor. And at the same time, to provide a more accessible, adaptable, and advanced experience to our clients and end users as OctoProctor.
It took us 10 years, more than 70 product releases, 500 improvements, and new features, to become OctoProctor, proctoring that helps, not punishes.
We’ve rebranded to reflect who we’ve become: a science-based, privacy-focused proctoring platform designed for modern education, certification, and workforce assessments. OctoProctor represents our commitment to smarter, more adaptable, and test-taker-friendly remote proctoring.
