The Informs CAP Guardian Browser is a highly secure, locked-down testing environment designed specifically for online proctored exams under the INFORMS Certified Analytics Professional (CAP) program. Built to protect exam integrity, the browser restricts all unauthorized activities by blocking access to external websites, applications, screen sharing tools, and system functions while the exam is in progress. It continuously monitors the user’s system, ensures a controlled environment, and prevents copying, printing, or capturing of exam content. Combined with identity verification and live proctoring, the CAP Guardian Browser provides a stable, tamper-proof platform that maintains fairness, minimizes cheating risks, and upholds the rigorous standards of the CAP certification. If any suspicious activity is detected, the browser can immediately alert the proctor or terminate the session, ensuring complete exam security from start to finish.
