About Kryterion

In 2001, Drake International’s Kryterion division pioneered online global assessment
which revolutionized the testing industry. In 2005, Kryterion introduced online
proctoring, a groundbreaking innovation that set new standards in credentialing. Today,
AI is quickly becoming an integral technology in our products and direction, reflecting
Kryterion’s commitment to continuous innovation.

Kryterion’s self-service SaaS platform, Webassessor, empowers clients to take control
of their credentialing programs. This unique approach emphasizes flexibility,
accessibility, and speed to market. Webassessor gives clients in-house control to
modify, edit, and publish exams without additional publishing fees.

Our top priority is to provide clients with the best mix of security, innovation, service,
and value in our solutions for test development and delivery.

Kryterion’s in-house expertise is an advantage to your certification program’s long term
success. Our highly trained customer success pros deliver exceptional service to clients
while our test delivery teams provide outstanding support to clients’ test candidates.

Our test development and psychometric services team is also known for exceptional
service, industry leading expertise, and a customer-focused approach. Our clients have
recognized Kryterion for responsiveness, flexibility, customer focus, and high-quality
work product.

Meet Kryterion

We know that the stakes are uncompromisingly high in the testing industry. Whether a candidate is sitting for a high-stakes IT certification, a healthcare licensing exam, or a corporate professional assessment, the integrity of that test is paramount. That is our responsibility and our privilege.

At Kryterion, we truly understand the importance of what you do. We recognize that every credential earned through our platform represents genuine, verified competence, directly impacting career trajectories, industry safety standards, and public well-being. 

You’re the best at what you do. Let Kryterion handle the rest. Put us to the test.

Our History

Since pioneering online global assessment in 2001 and introducing groundbreaking online proctoring in 2005, we have witnessed the rise and fall of countless platforms. Competitors come and go, often prioritizing rapid expansion over fundamental security. 

We endure because we stay anchored to our primary mission: enabling people anywhere to demonstrate their skills in pursuit of world-class careers.

This mission drives every line of code we write, every psychometric analysis we perform, and every support call we answer. When leadership buyers evaluate their credentialing partners, they look for a team whose values align entirely with their own. 

Our agility, our partnership, our trust. That is the Kryterion difference.

Our Philosophy

Total Accountability

We treat every exam session not as a transactional event, but as a shared duty. When you place your reputation in our hands, we take that responsibility seriously. Our goal is absolute confidence in the validity of your exams—protecting your brand, your candidates, and the public trust.

Proactive Defense

Protecting exam integrity means staying ahead of emerging threats. From sophisticated proxy testing rings to intellectual property theft, we take an active, uncompromising stance to safeguard your content and ensure every earned credential holds real value.

Genuine Partnership

We don’t operate as a standard vendor. Our test development and psychometric services teams function as a direct extension of your organization—aligning with your mission, taking ownership of your challenges, and protecting your standards as if they were our own.

Refusing to Compromise

As the landscape of global assessment and online proctoring continues to evolve rapidly, our commitment to security, accessibility, and client autonomy remains absolute.

Data Security & IP Defense

In an era where digital threats are increasingly sophisticated, we enforce rigorous security protocols without exception. By strictly adhering to SOC 2 Type II standards and PCI SSC guidelines, we protect your intellectual property as fiercely as candidate data giving you unshakeable peace of mind.

Candidate Equity & Seamless Accessibility

High security should never come at the expense of a fair, accessible testing experience. Whether through secure global test centers or advanced online proctoring, we ensure legitimate candidates never feel penalized or frustrated. We meet test-takers where they are, without friction or bias.

Total Client Autonomy

Your credentialing program belongs to you. We give you full in-house control through Webassessor, empowering you to modify, edit, and publish exams on your own timeline, without hidden publishing fees or administrative barriers holding you back.

How Clients Trust Us

We know that trust is often defined not just by what a company does, but by what it intentionally and strictly avoids doing.

Clients trust us not to chase unproven trends at their expense.

While we actively integrate AI into our products and direction, we do not deploy it recklessly. Every technological advancement must demonstrably enhance security or accessibility before it ever touches your high-stakes exams. We do not use your candidates for unfinished concepts.

Clients trust us not to treat them as just a number.

Our customer success and test delivery teams are deeply embedded in your program’s long-term success. Kryterion rejects the one-size-fits-all approach to test development and psychometrics. We know that a global technology certification requires a vastly different strategy than a regional legal association, and we tailor our industry-leading expertise accordingly.

Clients trust us not to cut corners.

With regional hubs spanning the United States, the United Kingdom, South Africa, the Philippines, and Japan, along with robust online testing, we maintain a genuine, continuous global presence. The integrity of a test delivered in Tokyo must be identical to one delivered in Phoenix or one delivered online, and we value meeting your high standards.

Certifications

We’re providing professional services to the titans of the credentialing industry. Our certifications prove that we take this responsibility seriously.

Memberships

We are proud to be an active member of the assessment community.

Leadership Team

We work with organizations to build and deliver everything from skills tests and simple online assessments to comprehensive, high-stakes, worldwide certification programs. Kryterion is guided by a team of passionate and dedicated leaders in assessment.
