Candidate identity passport
Connect registration, verification, live presence, and attempt continuity
Build a structured identity record that connects the candidate profile, approved verification process, live assessment presence, secure attempt details, re-verification checkpoints, technical context, and final reviewer decision.
Prevent substitution by validating identity before and throughout the assessment.
A reliable process should verify the candidate before the test, bind the verified person to the attempt, monitor configured identity-continuity signals, preserve re-verification events, and provide evidence for authorized review.

Identity intervention ladder
Respond proportionately when identity continuity requires attention
Configure clear responses for minor verification issues, camera interruptions, failed re-entry checks, repeated identity mismatches, device changes, missing documents, candidate explanations, and authorized escalation.
Use graduated identity controls instead of immediately invalidating an assessment.
Technical interruptions, lighting changes, device movement, document visibility, profile-image age, connectivity issues, and approved accommodations may affect verification. Responses should follow the configured policy and complete evidence.
Continue and record
Preserve minor or short-duration verification events that do not require candidate interruption.
Request re-verification
Ask the candidate to complete a configured identity checkpoint after re-entry, camera recovery, or another selected trigger.
Pause the assessment attempt
Temporarily pause access when a required identity step cannot be completed or continuity remains unresolved.
Send for authorized review
Present identity events, session history, technical context, candidate explanation, and assessment policy to a reviewer.
Record the final identity decision
Retain the result, request a supervised retest, cancel the attempt, or escalate according to policy and complete evidence.
Identity evidence record
Review identity events with the complete assessment timeline
Examine candidate registration, authentication, document checks, profile comparison, live presence, session token, device continuity, camera interruptions, re-verification events, candidate explanation, and final submission.

Impersonation Prevention FAQs
Learn how CloudTest supports candidate authentication, permitted identity-document checks, live identity consistency, secure attempt binding, re-verification, technical recovery, privacy, accessibility, and human review.
What is impersonation prevention in an online assessment?
Impersonation prevention uses configured identity-verification, authentication, live-presence, attempt-binding, and session-continuity controls to help confirm that the intended candidate completes the assessment.
How can candidate identity be verified before the test?
Organizations can configure secure invitation links, account authentication, OTP verification, candidate-profile checks, permitted identity documents, live camera checks, or other approved verification methods.
Can candidate identity be monitored during the assessment?
Configured identity-continuity signals can connect live candidate presence, camera continuity, secure attempt information, interruption events, session re-entry, device context, and re-verification checkpoints.
What happens after a camera interruption or session re-entry?
A configured process may record the interruption, preserve the active attempt, request candidate re-verification, compare the live session with the previous identity record, and continue or pause the assessment.
Does an identity mismatch automatically prove impersonation?
No. Lighting, camera quality, profile-image age, document visibility, connectivity, device changes, technical issues, and approved accommodations may affect verification. The complete evidence should be reviewed.
What information can be included in an identity report?
Reports can include candidate account, authentication results, permitted document status, profile comparison, live identity checkpoints, secure attempt token, device context, interruptions, re-verification results, reviewer notes, and final identity status.
How should privacy and accessibility be handled?
Candidates should receive clear information about verification methods, camera use, documents, data purpose, retention, reviewer access, technical support, permitted alternatives, and available accommodations before the assessment.
Should AI make the final impersonation decision?
AI-assisted identity signals should support an authorized review process. Final decisions should consider the complete identity record, technical conditions, candidate explanation, approved accommodations, privacy obligations, assessment policy, and human judgement.
