Secure by design

At Beam, security isn't an afterthought - it's woven into every line of code we write and every decision we make. We work with customers who handle some of the most sensitive data imaginable. That's why our platform is built around a simple principle: your data is yours, and protecting it is our job.

AI that works for you, not the other way round

Your data is never used to train AI models. You sign off on how your data is used. Every summary produced by  Notes is reviewed and edited by a human before it goes anywhere. AI assists, but your staff stay in control.

Know where your data is

All Beam Notes data is stored and processed in the US. Every recording, transcript, and summary is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit.
