The LMS for high-stakes exams that have to hold up in audit, in court, and on exam day.
Cognaxa is built for professional certification bodies, language institutes, and licensing programs where a wrong pass/fail decision is a contractual problem. Native proctoring with a downloadable evidence pack per attempt, server-synced exam timer, and certificate verification URLs that employers and regulators can check in one click.
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.
Procurement-ready, day one.

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.
