Secure test taker experience
End-to-End psychometrics and test development expertise
Our expert team of psychometricians and test developers offer end-to-end support for every stage of the test development process. From knowledge base creation and item writing to ongoing maintenance, we collaborate closely with Subject Matter Experts to ensure every exam meets the technical and regulatory standards required by federal agencies. PSI provides full-cycle support from test development through deployment, ensuring that every exam is defensible, fair, and psychometrically sound.
Regulatory compliance and data security
PSI is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of compliance and data security. Our systems and processes meet international and national data privacy regulations, including U.S. federal laws, with key certifications such as ISO 27001 for information security. We have achieved Authority to Operate (ATO) status from multiple federal agencies, ensuring that our platforms remain secure and compliant. As part of our continued commitment to federal security, PSI is on track to receive FedRAMP certification, further solidifying our standing as a trusted committed partner for federal testing solutions.
Leading innovation in test security and data forensics
PSI leads the way in ensuring test integrity through advanced data forensics and reporting tools. Our real-time data insights and self-service reporting provide federal agencies with transparent, actionable intelligence to meet regulatory, audit, and compliance needs. Our data forensic technologies identify potential test malpractice, including proxy test takers, while supporting investigations and prosecutions with expert witness testimony and comprehensive reporting packages.
Accessibility and exceptional service
We understand the importance of accessibility and inclusivity in federal testing. PSI’s platforms comply with U.S. Section 508 standards and are designed to support test takers with disabilities, ensuring equal access to government services. Our test centers meet ADA requirements, and our dedicated support teams ensure that test takers with complex needs receive the assistance they deserve. Additionally, PSI’s test taker portal and 24/7 technical support deliver seamless, user-friendly experiences while maintaining the highest levels of test security.
Moving from paper based to computer based testing
For federal programs, PSI offers a robust pathway from paper-based testing (PBT) to computer-based testing (CBT) that aligns with stringent security, scalability, and regulatory requirements. Federal agencies benefit from PSI’s comprehensive solutions, which include secure test delivery through authorized test centers and remote proctoring options that maintain test integrity and data privacy.
Transitioning to CBT allows federal programs to expand their reach, reduce administrative complexity, and provide test takers with the convenience of flexible scheduling and faster result processing. PSI’s experience in federal contract testing ensures a smooth, legally defensible transition, with support at every stage of assessment delivery. This modernization helps federal programs efficiently meet evolving demands, scale testing capacity, and provide equitable access to testing nationwide.
"I’d recommend PSI over anybody in the industry. They have continually exceeded our expectations and invest the time to learn about our programs and needs to help us grow and improve the tests as well as our processes."
