Prometric Adds 26,000 Cameras and AI Detection to Exam Rooms Under ProGuardian

Prometric announced ProGuardian, a workstation-level exam security system, on November 12, 2026, with a planned deployment of over 26,000 additional cameras in over 500 cities and over 100 countries. The Aktien report said the launch extends Prometric's layered security infrastructure to over 13,000 workstations.

How ProGuardian Watches Each Workstation

Prometric said ProGuardian combines dual-camera visibility, AI-assisted detection, expert review and documented response procedures. The system is designed to identify potential threats in real time and support expert-led response, according to the company. It targets prohibited items including watches, phones and camera-equipped smart glasses.

Prometric said ProGuardian was built on privacy-by-design and human-in-the-loop principles and in compliance with global privacy and regulatory requirements. The company said the investment reflects a commitment to keeping professional credentials trusted as security threats evolve. The system is aimed at licensing, certification and credentialing organizations, as well as employers, regulators and the public.

"The value of a professional credential depends on the trust behind it," said Stuart Udell, Chief Executive Officer of Prometric. "As threats to exam security become more sophisticated, the industry has a responsibility to evolve just as quickly. We are not waiting for the next threat to reach the testing room. We're investing ahead of it."

Prometric's Security Advisors and Prior Platform Work

According to akta.pro company records, Prometric appointed Jill Murphy, formerly of the FBI, CIA and NSC, and Randy Bishop, formerly of the USAF, DoD and DOE, as Special Advisors in May 2026 to strengthen security strategy for high-stakes testing programs. The same records show Prometric launched an enhanced EdInsights K-12 data and decision-support platform with AI-assisted capabilities in March 2026. Prometric's records also list 8,000 or more testing centers worldwide and 180 or more countries served.

In September 2026, Datamatics Global Services was selected by Prometric to support its global remote examination operations with 24/7 multilingual support in English, Spanish and French from delivery centers in India, the Philippines and Peru, according to ScanX.
