Secure Testing Protocol (STEP) is a secure testing infrastructure developed with the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) testing method in mind. They offer different solutions to lockdown the device to turn them into secure digital testing environments. Ans supports the stick solution, which is the STEP software on USB-sticks. Enabling the integration will secure the testing environment for students on private laptops. The software blocks all applications of the computer that are not needed for the creation of the test.

You will configure the correct settings within your STEP account on their platform, which means the settings for each assignment will always be set by the administrator. The teachers can then enable the integration for their assignments in the settings with the configuration key provided by STEP.
