Beamprobe

Beamprobe is a virtual data room (VDR) platform designed for secure document sharing during fundraising, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and due diligence. The platform provides a self-serve alternative to enterprise-tier tools by utilizing a flat-rate pricing model per workspace.

Core Features and Security

Beamprobe implements several layers of document protection and access control:

• NDA Gating: Access to documents is restricted by a mandatory non-disclosure agreement. Acceptance of the agreement generates a tamper-evident PDF audit log.
• Encryption and Residency: Documents are stored using AES-256 envelope encryption. The platform defaults to EU jurisdiction storage via Cloudflare R2, with an option for US residency.
• Content Protection: Security features include dynamic watermarking (displaying viewer email and IP), link expiration, password protection, and download blocking. The system detects document forwarding by monitoring IP and device fingerprint divergence.
• Analytics: Beamprobe provides page-by-page viewer analytics. To ensure data accuracy, the platform filters out bot traffic from security scanners such as Mimecast, Proofpoint, and Defender.

Administrative Tools

For transaction management, Beamprobe includes:

• Multi-document Data Rooms: Administrators can organize multiple files within a single room and generate tracked sharing links for individual recipients.
• Branding: Paid tiers allow for custom branded domains.
• Audit Tools: The platform includes an AI-assisted deck audit tool designed for gap analysis against M&A and fundraising standards.

Pricing and Deployment

Beamprobe operates on a published flat-fee structure per workspace. The vendor states that this model avoids per-user or per-deal fees, which they claim results in a lower total cost for a 12-week transaction period compared to competitors like iDeals or Datasite. According to vendor documentation, the platform supports self-serve onboarding with a setup time of approximately 90 seconds. Beamprobe is GDPR-ready, and a signed Data Processing Agreement is available for all paid accounts.
