What Goes Wrong

Four exam-day failure modes — and how Cognaxa fixes each.

Pass/fail decisions that have to hold up in court

A failed candidate sues. Your LMS is the audit trail. If proctoring evidence lives in a third-party iframe and your timer was client-influenced, the case gets harder, fast.

Native proctoring with downloadable evidence pack per attempt: timeline, flags, reviewer notes, consent record. Server-synced exam timer. Single linked timeline that plays back for hearings.

Annual SOC 2 / ISO 27001 audits where the LMS is in scope

Auditors ask to see tenant isolation, access boundaries, audit logs, and the change-control process for the system that issues your certificates. Most LMS vendors show a security FAQ.

Database-level tenant isolation enforced at the PostgreSQL query planner. Activity audit logging today; outbound SIEM streaming on the Enterprise roadmap. SOC 2 Type II report under NDA.

Certificate forgery + public verification

Employers and licensing boards verify candidate certificates by checking a public URL. Static PDF certs don't cut it; you need a verifiable credential chain.

Auto-issued digital certificates with public verification pages, unique verification codes, configurable pass thresholds, and institution branding. One click from the gradebook.

High-stakes exam windows where downtime is contractual

You promised candidates a sitting on a specific date. The LMS goes down. You owe refunds, retake costs, and reputational damage that doesn't recover quickly.

99.98% trailing-12-month uptime across all production tenants. Native proctoring scaled with the same infrastructure as the quiz engine — no third-party iframe failure mode.

Questions certification-board CIOs ask first.

Can we customize pass thresholds per certification?

Yes. Each course/program has a configurable passing percentage and per-section requirements. Certificates auto-issue only to candidates who clear every threshold.

How are certificate identities verified publicly?

Every issued certificate has a unique verification code and a public verification URL hosted on Cognaxa. Employers and regulators paste the code; the page confirms candidate name, certificate, issue date, and any revocation status.

What happens to certificate evidence if a candidate disputes a result?

Each proctored attempt produces a downloadable evidence bundle: timeline, flags, reviewer notes, and consent record. Reviewers can replay a single linked timeline of the entire attempt for academic-integrity hearings.

Are you SOC 2 Type II audited?

Yes — achieved March 2026. Pacific Institute, a customer using Cognaxa for certification delivery, passed their own annual SOC 2 audit with zero LMS-layer findings; the auditor specifically called out our row-level tenancy as the cleanest control of its category they had reviewed that year.
