Maintaining Security

As the global leader in the high-stakes testing business, Pearson VUE is committed to providing a secure environment in which to conduct business on behalf of our exam sponsors.

Maintaining high standards for physical security and data security is essential for upholding the reputation of Pearson VUE and for safeguarding the testing programs offered by exam sponsors. This level of security has been achieved with secure facilities, the latest technology, comprehensive policies and procedures, and well-informed and dedicated test administrators.

Security is maintained from the development lab, to the data center, all the way to your test center. You play a crucial role in maintaining the security of the testing program. It is important to become familiar with Pearson VUE's security policies and procedures and know how to respond if security problems occur in your test center.
