Inspera Integrity Browser
Oslo, Norway
What it is
Inspera Integrity Browser is a desktop lockdown application for online assessments. It controls which device resources and applications candidates can access, supporting strict lockdown or selected materials such as specified PDFs and URLs. Used with Inspera Assessment, it can block other device content, copying and pasting into or out of the exam environment, and assessment screenshots. It integrates with Inspera Assessment and Inspera Proctoring; with Inspera Resilience Proctoring, invigilators can use video, audio, and screen recording. Institutions may enable up to five third-party applications, requiring service-desk activation and a current Windows version; this option is unavailable on macOS. Students download IIB from their institution’s Inspera portal, and 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.
