Security Audit Customer Testimonials
“This was [our] first security audit by an outside company. It was held now because of our increasing awareness of security issues and the liability associated with the safety of the exams. We wanted to know how we compare against the industry standard. The audit is a way of getting someone to objectively review measures we have in place and offer suggestions.”
Jerry Carter, Associate Executive Director
National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying
“One of the advantages of the audit is finding out where vulnerabilities are before problems occur. Each exam administration, two to five ‘incidents’ occur that have to be investigated to determine if an exam should be declared as breached. Over the last three years, one exam has been declared breached. Ultimately, the goal is to have no exam breaches”

“ASE wanted the audit as a matter of good business.
Through our many years of experience and with the ongoing support of ACT, we knew that we had sound test development and administration. Still, our program is large, complex, and no one else has the exact program plan that we do. We thought that an outside opinion from an experienced and impartial source such as Caveon, could help us identify small problems before they became large ones.
Further, we knew that the audit itself provides material evidence of ASE’s commitment to quality and fairness. We were very pleased with the results. The audit process was complete and the Caveon recommendations were well reasoned.”

“The security audit provided the IHMM with the information needed to justify some of its key actions and budget streams for the future.
The final report provided a reference baseline for the current program and documented the direction for its security needs in the future. It elevated the importance of our security considerations within the organization and demonstrated to others that the CHMM examination process is sound.
In addition, it demonstrated a willingness of IHMM to subject its program to professional scrutiny and comparison with recognized accepted standards.”

Data Forensics Customer Testimonials
“Data Forensics help us to see a clearer picture of what is really happening over the lifespan of each exam… giving us ‘red flags’ to help identify not only where unusual testing patterns are occurring, but who is involved.
What we end up having is multiple data points that provide a stack of evidence to act upon – so decision making can be based on real facts versus simple hunches about cheating, piracy, and test center issues.”
Steve Moore, Certification Program Manager

“I think it is unique for a company to provide this kind of security assessment. In South Carolina, we had a pretty strong accountability assessment program for a number of years before NCLB.
The test that we audited is our high school assessment program, and it is used to determine accountability for the state. But it is also our high school exit exam. We want to make certain it is fair.”
Terry Siskind, State Assessment Director
