Inspera Integrity Browser vs PSI Secure Browser

Inspera Integrity Browser is a desktop lockdown application for online assessments. It controls which applications, device content and external resources candidates can access during an exam. Institutions can use strict lockdown or permit selected materials such as specified PDFs and URLs. With Inspera Assessment, the browser can block copying and pasting into or out of the assessment and prevent screenshots. Inspera Proctoring integrations can add video, audio and screen recording for invigilators. Institutions may enable up to five third-party applications, although service-desk activation and IIB 1.16.16 or newer are required on Windows, and the option is unavailable on macOS. Students download the application through their institution’s Inspera portal; it stays inactive until an assessment is configured. It runs on Windows and macOS, not Linux, Chromebooks, virtual machines, tablets or phones. IIB is a paid add-on to Inspera Assessment, with pricing on request.

PSI Secure Browser provides a locked-down environment for online exams, supporting the process from launch and identity authentication through proctor connection, testing, and session end. Check-in may include a photo ID, selfie, room and floor-to-ceiling scans, accessory scan, and desk scan. PSI says the browser restricts other websites and applications and blocks actions such as copying, pasting, printing, and screen capture. It is offered as a downloaded browser or as a separate Chrome Extension. The Secure Browser supports specified 64-bit Windows 10 and 11, macOS Sonoma, Sequoia, and Tahoe, and Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04, and 26.04 LTS. Chromebooks cannot run the Secure Browser, though they can use the extension. Installation and administrator access are required on the test computer. Proctored exams require a webcam and microphone, and the camera must stay on during the exam. PSI offers live and record-and-review proctoring. Pricing is available on request.
