Security

Security built in, not bolted on

EnglishScore is the world's only mobile-proctored English test. We use multiple layers of technology to ensure every score is earned, every certificate is trusted, and every result is reliable.

Test Security

Multiple layers of protection

Photo-check Proctoring

The front-facing camera captures photos at random intervals throughout the test to verify identity. All photos are stored securely and presented in the certificate security report.

AI Violation Detection

AI continuously monitors each test session and flags potential violations — including additional people in frame, the test-taker leaving view, use of external devices, or signs of external assistance. Flagged sessions are reviewed before certificates are issued.

Room Scan

Environmental checks ensure test conditions are appropriate and free from external assistance.

Adaptive Item Delivery

Questions are dynamically selected so no two tests are identical, preventing answer sharing.

Screen Capture Disabled

Screen recording, screenshots, and auto-complete are disabled during the test.

Certificate Security

Trusted credentials

  • Watermarked and password-protected PDF
  • Human review of every certificate within 1 business day
  • Unique verification ID — employers verify directly from our servers
  • Monitored for reproduction and forgery

Data Privacy

Your data, protected

EnglishScore takes data privacy seriously. In-test photos and personal data are stored securely in the cloud with access controls and encryption. We comply with applicable data protection regulations including GDPR. Test-taker data is only accessible to the test-taker and — where a connect code is used — to the approved administrators of the organisation they are testing for. Photos are retained for the purpose of certificate verification and are not shared with third parties.

Continuous Innovation

Device security, audio/video detection, ID assurance, and certificate anti-forgery — powered by weekly machine learning iterations across 50,000+ test sittings.
