What ProctorFree does

ProctorFree is a private, US-based online proctoring software company founded in 2012 (originally as MyLearningID) and headquartered in Cornelius, North Carolina. The company provides on-demand, AI-powered exam monitoring services for higher education institutions, professional certification and licensure bodies, corporate training programs, government agencies, and HR/pre-hiring use cases. Its core product portfolio consists of two service tiers: Fully Automated Proctoring, which uses AI to record webcam, screen, and audio data streams and flag suspicious behavior without human intervention, and Human-Assisted Proctoring, which adds human auditor review of AI-flagged anomalies for higher-stakes exams. Supporting offerings include a Secure Browser for exam environment lockdown, Psychometrics consulting for exam validity, and end-to-end Proctored Exam Delivery.

The technology stack is built on AWS cloud infrastructure and integrates natively with all major LMS platforms (Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace by D2L, Moodle) plus secondary platforms (Udutu, Digital Chalk, Jenzabar, Skilljar) and testing platforms (Gauge by Test.com, ASC Smarter Assessment). The company has achieved SOC 2 Type 2 compliance (May 2026), FERPA compliance for student records, and HEOA Section 602.17 compliance for distance education identity verification. AI capabilities center on multi-modal anomaly detection and continuous identity verification rather than any disclosed proprietary foundation model.

ProctorFree operates a hybrid revenue model combining usage-based pay-per-exam pricing with volume-based enterprise licensing contracts. The company reaches customers through direct enterprise sales targeting institutional buyers, channel distribution via its LMS and testing-platform partner ecosystem, self-serve onboarding for smaller customers, and presence at education-technology conferences. It serves a globally distributed customer base including higher education institutions, certification bodies, and international deployments such as an Australian road safety education platform operating since 2017.
