Education &
Exam Proctoring

In an age of remote learning and heightened security concerns, institutions in the Education and Exam Proctoring sector face growing challenges. From impersonation during online or in-person exams to unauthorized campus access and manual administrative tasks, the integrity and safety of learning environments are under threat.

At the same time, students and faculty expect seamless, tech-enabled systems, while data privacy regulations (such as GDPR, FERPA, and CCPA) demand robust compliance. Gekonova’s biometric technologies offer a powerful, future-ready response—ensuring secure, efficient, and trustworthy educational operations.

Industry Demands

As education modernizes, institutions are turning to biometric authentication to preserve fairness, safety, and operational efficiency. This approach deters fraudulent activity and ensures only authorized individuals access learning environments and assessments.

Key requirements include:

  • Reliable biometric verification of students, faculty, staff, and visitors using fingerprint, facial recognition, or palm vein scans
  • Integration with official identity documents such as student cards or government-issued IDs
  • Fast, accurate identity checks for examination access, class attendance, and campus entry
  • Transparent, accessible logs of attendance and site access for audits and compliance tracking
