Beamprobe lets a UK founder, accountant, or solicitor:
- Create a deal room, a folder for related documents
- Upload PDFs (encrypted at rest with AES-256 before they touch storage)
- Generate per-recipient tracked links with optional NDA gate, password, expiry, max-views, watermarking
- See page-level analytics: who opened which page, for how long, on what device
- Email recipients directly from the app, see when they open
- Export the NDA acceptance log as CSV or signed PDF with a SHA-256 tamper digest
Built specifically for the UK SMB, advisor, and accountant market, not for Fortune-500 M&A. Same diligence essentials as iDeals, Datasite, and Firmex, at 5 to 25 times lower cost.

TL;DR on encryption: Each document is AES-256-CBC encrypted with a unique 2048-byte random password before it touches Cloudflare R2 (EU jurisdiction). The per-file password is itself encrypted with S/MIME (AES-256, 4096-bit RSA). The matching private key is held only by the Beamprobe application servers. Storage providers see only ciphertext. This is encryption at rest with app-managed keys, not end-to-end encryption (we can decrypt to render). Customer-held keys (BYOK) are on the Enterprise roadmap.
Beamprobe is built and operated by a UK-based team. ICO-registered. UK GDPR compliant by default. EU-only data residency.
