MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF. — February 25, 2026 — Accredible, the world's leading digital badging platform, and Integrity Advocate, the most trusted online proctoring solution, today announced a strategic partnership to connect verified proctoring with secure digital credential issuance. The integration ensures credentials are automatically issued only to verified test takers who complete assessments without misconduct, helping programs preserve trust, defensibility, and brand integrity at scale.
As remote and online assessment continues to scale, credential fraud and assessment misconduct pose significant risks to program integrity and organizational reputation. While many testing and certification programs rely on proctoring or digital credentialing solutions independently, these systems are often deployed in isolation. The result is a critical gap: exams may be monitored and verified, but credentials are issued separately without a defensible, auditable link back to verified assessment participation.
The Accredible and Integrity Advocate partnership closes that gap by connecting assessment integrity directly to credential issuance. Integrity Advocate handles identity verification and ensures no exam misconduct. When a test taker passes an exam with verified human results, Accredible automatically issues secure, tamper-proof digital credentials within the program's existing Learning Management System (LMS). Test administrators configure credentialing and proctoring rules within the LMS, and the system enforces them consistently at any scale.
"A credential is only as trustworthy as the process that created it," said Danny King, CEO and co-founder of Accredible. "This partnership gives programs a defensible way to protect their brand and stand behind every credential they award at scale.”
For testing and certification teams, the integration reduces manual reconciliation, simplifies exception handling, and strengthens defensibility across audits, appeals, and accreditation reviews. Programs can scale with confidence, knowing credentials are awarded consistently and backed by verified assessment evidence. Test takers experience fair, secure assessments and timely delivery of verifiable credentials, while employers and regulators gain a reliable way to verify authenticity long after the exam — protecting the value of the credential and every legitimate credential holder.
“Proctoring proves integrity. Credentialing preserves it," said Brandon Smith, CEO of Integrity Advocate. "Our partnership gives programs confidence that the person who earned the credential is the same person who took the exam. Everything happens automatically with a clear audit trail, which means less work for program teams and more trust in the credentials they issue."
The Accredible and Integrity Advocate integration is available now, with initial support for D2L Brightspace environments. In Spring 2026, the companies will launch a unified offering that enables new customers to purchase both proctoring and credentialing services together. Existing customers can add credentialing or proctoring capabilities through their current provider relationship.
Accredible and Integrity Advocate will be showcasing the integration at the ATP Innovations in Testing Conference, March 1-4, 2026. To learn more about the integration, visit www.accredible.com/integrations/integrityadvocate.
