Honorlock was founded to modernize online academic integrity with an AI-powered proctoring platform that delivers institution-grade exam security without requiring students to install invasive local software. The company was built on the insight that the shift to online education created acute demand for scalable proctoring tools, and that existing solutions were either technically burdensome for students or too expensive for institutions. Honorlock's core technology uses AI to analyze student behavior and exam patterns in real time, flagging anomalies for human review.\n\nHonorlockss platform is a browser extension — no full software install required — that detects second-screen usage, unauthorized materials, and identity verification failures during live exam sessions. It integrates natively with Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, and Moodle, enabling institutions to deploy proctoring within existing LMS workflows. Honorlock also provides on-demand student support during exams, reducing friction. Customers include community colleges, four-year universities, and professional certification bodies across the United States.\n\nHonorlock has raised $39.5 million including a $25 million Series B led by Owl Ventures, serving 300-plus institutions and one million-plus students including the University of Alabama system, UC Davis, and Georgia Tech. It competes with Respondus, ProctorU, and Proctorio, differentiating through its browser-extension model, AI-first detection, and live support. As online course delivery becomes permanent, demand for scalable, student-friendly proctoring infrastructure continues to grow.
