IT whitelisting guidance for our assessment platform

ICAS introduced a new integrated assessment platform, which includes proctoring and marking software.

It is critical that Firms ensure that their IT teams have whitelisted all relevant URLs to allow students to successfully complete their TPS Mocks and subsequent TPS Exams under invigilated conditions.

Critical web extension and URLs:

• http://getproctorio.com/ (web extension)
• http://proctorio.com/ (platform)
• https://icas.cirrusplatform.com

If Firms' security protocols include VPN and/or Firewall settings to permit candidates from accessing external sites, we ask that Firms ensure that these are also updated so that these sites can be accessed both remotely and within the workplace.

We also ask that Firms ensure their candidates have access to the full suite of MS Office tools, including MS Teams, for the duration of their studies with ICAS. This will ensure that they can participate in all classroom and assessment activities throughout the course.

Proctorio can support Chrome, Edge and Brave browsers (all Chromium-based). If Students continue to have problems with access, please see the technical guide.
