What ProctorEdu does

ProctorEdu, operating commercially as OctoProctor, is a remote proctoring software vendor founded in 2016 and headquartered in Moscow, Russian Federation, with its principal legal entity (ProctorEdu, Inc.) domiciled in the United States. The company provides browser-based online exam proctoring delivered through three configurable modes — AI proctoring, auto proctoring, and live proctoring — to higher education institutions, professional certification bodies, corporate HR teams, and government agencies. According to company disclosures, the platform serves over 200 customer organizations and administers more than one million online tests annually, with stated capacity for over 8,000 simultaneous test takers.

The product is built on a cloud-native browser architecture requiring no software installation, supporting iOS and Android devices, and operating at bandwidths as low as 256 kbps with automatic session recovery. AI capabilities span video, image, and audio modalities and include anomaly detection, computer vision monitoring, and post-exam behavioral analytics for credibility reporting. The platform integrates natively with eight major learning management systems (Canvas, Brightspace D2L, Moodle, Blackboard, Open edX, Sakai, iSpring Learn, and LearnWorlds), supports LTI-compatible custom integration, and offers geo-specific cloud data residency plus on-premise deployment for organizations with regulatory constraints.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market combining product-led distribution through LMS marketplaces with enterprise field sales supported by demo booking and consultation. Revenue is generated primarily through subscription licensing with per-exam or volume-based pricing, though public pricing is not disclosed. The company is privately held with disclosed funding from IIDF, Sberbank-500, and Softline Venture Partners, and a co-founding team of Artem Kozin, Anton Skshidlevskiy (CTO), and Adeniyi Adebayo (Head of Business Development). Headcount is reported at 11-50 employees.
