About NeoExamShield
NeoExamShield is designed to support the integrity and fairness of the IAMNEO assessment platform. This extension helps maintain a secure examination experience by monitoring and restricting the use of unauthorized browser extensions during assessments. In addition to extension monitoring, NeoExamShield also enforces exam-specific access rules by blocking access to certain external websites as defined in its configuration. These restrictions are applied using pre-defined JSON rules included in the extension to ensure a controlled and distraction-free testing environment. NeoExamShield operates solely within the IAMNEO exam platform and does not collect personal data or monitor user activity outside the scope of exam security requirements.
