What you get if you respond
- Full PDF report when published, ahead of public release.
- Your answers benchmarked against every other respondent in your role (founder, advisor, accountant, solicitor).
- Optional one-page audit of your current document-sharing setup, written by hand, no sales pitch.
- Optional 90-day free Pro trial of Beamprobe if you decide to test a modern data room.
Why we are doing this
Most published research on document security is paid for by a vendor and reads like marketing. We want a clean independent baseline for what UK founders, advisors, and professional service teams actually do today, so the rest of the market can argue with real numbers instead of vibes.
What we are asking
Twelve questions covering role, tools you actually use, residency preferences, incidents, and pain points. No revenue, no headcount, no commercial intel. Free-text field for one sentence about what frustrates you most.
How we handle your response
- Aggregated and published anonymously. Individual answers are never quoted by name.
- Email is optional. If you give it, we use it only for the report, your benchmark, the audit, or the trial, depending on which boxes you tick.
- No mailing list signup by default. No follow-up sales spam.
- You can delete your response at any time by emailing [email protected].
Who is running it
Beamprobe, a UK virtual data room. We publish the results in full whether they favour us or not.
