Rethinking exam security: Why adaptable models are the future

A new article in the eAssessment Association newsletter highlights a growing reality for assessment organizations – a one-size-fits-all approach to test security no longer works.

In the article, One size no longer fits all: Designing exam security around your program, Lesinda Leightley, Director of Business Development at PSI, explores how rapidly evolving threats demand more than traditional, uniform security models.

As Lesinda explains, modern test security isn’t just about adding layers, it’s about strategic flexibility. Today’s programs span diverse formats and audiences, from remote digital exams to high-stakes in-person testing. This complexity calls for defenses that are modular, risk-informed, and tailored to the specific needs of each program.

The article sums it up well: “There’s no one right way to secure an assessment, but there is a better way to think about it. One that puts the needs of your program first and provides access to the tools and expertise that can make the most significant difference.”

Curious how you can sharpen your exam security strategy?
