Our multi-layered safeguards detect a wide range of dishonest practices—from traditional cheating methods to modern threats like AI-generated responses. All signals feed into a unified **Cheating Indicator**, which provides a clear, color-coded summary of the candidate's risk level: 🟢 **Clear** – Normal activity 🟡 **Warning** – Unusual activity but inconclusive 🔴 **Suspicious** – High likelihood of cheating This system empowers hiring teams to make well-informed, evidence-based decisions without compromising candidate experience. ### Key anti-cheating measures **Focus-loss detection** – Detects when candidates navigate away from the assessment window, highlighting potential use of external tools, including AI assistants. **Developer tools detection** – Maintains a secure testing environment by identifying attempts to access or manipulate assessment content through browser developer tools. **Session monitoring** – Flags changes in IP address that may indicate account sharing or location spoofing. **Permission validation** - Confirms that camera, audio, and screen permissions are enabled; flags cases where they are disabled. **Video proctoring** - Captures periodic video snapshots and audio samples throughout the assessment, helping recruiters identify candidate presence, multiple participants, and signs of external assistance. ### **Cheating Indicator Dashboard** Accessible through a dedicated tab, the Cheating Indicator consolidates all activity and violations per candidate and per assessment: [![](https://help.bryq.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/image-3.png)](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/bbi5lpcw/1846398042/b56d732fed4d65fa7b18de614a58/image.png?expires=1765189800&signature=5b8d32b05815cf295ff71d5c17541b326658b56d43efb270a15878b043290da2&req=dSgjEMp3lYFbW%2FMW1HO4zU5AgOvaMNPDzdwPcAsVi%2F7xA8wdFT96ome1bbt1%0AyruE1955UAjAw9Lq5cg%3D%0A) - Shows counts by violation type (e.g., focus lost, IP change, developer tools opened). - Provides an overall risk indication per assessment for each candidate. - Allows hiring teams to review suspicious behavior with full context before making decisions.
