Bead AI is selling an evidence trail for internal audit work.

## What it does

The homepage says Bead can follow an existing SOX testing plan, pull evidence, test controls, identify exceptions and produce working papers with a decision log. That sequence matters. The product is not only generating an audit summary; it is claiming to preserve the evidence and the reasoning behind each judgment in the format an audit team already uses.

The page says the system can automate 80% of manual work and test 100% of controls while reducing testing time by 70%. Those are Bead’s claims. They are useful hypotheses for a pilot, not independent audit results.

The security page adds a second decision. Bead says it has SOC 2 Type II, US data residency, AES-256 encryption at rest, tenant isolation, zero-retention inference, and that evidence is not sent to model providers or used for model training. Those are vendor commitments to verify with procurement and the actual contract.

## Buyer and task

The buyer is an internal-audit team that spends too much time
