    For many exams given in the university system within the US, there are requirements from the accreditation agencies to require certain levels of security during fully online exams.  (even on-ground exams).  There are several 3rd party products, however none of them are "integrated" with Its Learning in any form or fashion that I can find. 

    Several key requirements:

    • Assessments are displayed full-screen and cannot be minimized
    • Assessments cannot be exited until submitted by users for grading
    • Task switching or access to other applications is prevented
    • Printing functions are disabled
    • Print Screen and capturing functions are disabled
    • Copying and pasting anything to and from an assessment is prohibited
    • Right-click menu options are disabled
    • Browser menu and toolbar options are disabled, except for Back, Forward, Refresh and Stop
    • Function keys are disabled
    • Source code for the HTML page cannot be viewed
    • Screen capture, messaging, screen-sharing, virtual machine, and network monitoring applications are blocked from running
    • The browser automatically starts at the login page for the institution’s course management system
    • URLs cannot be typed by the user
    • External links don’t compromise the “locked” testing environment
    • Pages from the assessment aren’t cached or stored in Internet Explorer’s history listing
