Safe Exam Browser creates a controlled examination environment on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS devices. It combines a restricted web browser with system controls designed to prevent unauthorized activities during online assessments. Administrators can configure permitted websites, browser behavior, navigation restrictions, and examination settings. Kiosk mode limits access to other applications and system functions while an assessment is running. Encrypted configuration files help protect examination policies from unauthorized changes. The software integrates with learning management and examination systems such as Moodle, ILIAS, and OpenOlat. Additional security controls include certificate pinning and detection of certain unsupported device environments. It supports institutional assessments on managed devices and compatible student-owned devices.
