What Examus does

Examus, doing business as TrustExam, is a privately held AI-powered proctoring and exam security company founded in 2015 and headquartered in San Francisco with 101-250 employees. The company sells a unified cloud-based proctoring platform, TrustExam, that helps governments, universities, certification bodies, and enterprises protect high-stakes online assessments through identity verification, screen monitoring, AI behavior analysis, and audit-ready integrity reports. The platform combines webcam, screen capture, mobile camera, and device-signal monitoring into a single review flow, and uses computer vision and anomaly-detection models to flag 40+ categories of suspicious behavior, block intrusion vectors such as HDMI splitters and remote-access tools via its ContentProtect module, and produce a per-session TrustScore integrity rating.

The product is organized around three solution verticals: Public Sector (licensing, civil service, and national exams), Academic Institutions (admissions and online academic assessments), and Workforce Assessment (remote hiring and internal certification). A disclosed reference customer is the Kazakhstan Driver License Knowledge Test Program, a certified-testing-center deployment. TrustExam monetizes through SaaS / subscription contracts sold via an enterprise field-sales motion, with primary CTAs of "Book a demo" and "Explore platform" and no publicly disclosed pricing. Marketing is driven by content (a blog covering privacy-first proctoring, video architecture, and HDMI threats), social profiles on LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and X, and an implied presence at government and academic sector events. Reported scale metrics are 1.5M+ exams proctored and an 80% cheating-reduction claim; revenue, headcount growth, funding, and ownership are not disclosed.
