What this is about

Client data is the work here. Not a by-product.

A mortgage adviser has an advice note made clearer. A claims handler asks a chatbot to summarise a file. Someone on the service desk pastes a complaint into an AI tool to turn it into a proper letter.

In this sector almost every piece of text holds something you would not share lightly: incomes, national identifiers, account numbers, policy details, medical information in a disability claim. So the question moves from whether AI is allowed to which AI, with what data, and whether you can show it.

Letting AI in

Explaining advice, summarising files, lifting the quality of correspondence: exactly the work where AI wins time and can raise the standard.

Meeting your duty of care

You answer for how client information is handled and for the quality of your advice. A vendor reading along somewhere in the chain is a risk you carry yourself.

Being demonstrably in control

Supervisors ask for control that works, not only for policy. What happens in an input field appears in no process description.

Policy and practice

Policy gets written once. Usage changes every month.

Organisations have an AI policy, an approved environment and usually a training. What is missing is sight of the tools that quietly arrive, and someone beside the adviser when a client file goes into an AI tool.

BeeSensible makes that connection, in four steps that keep coming back around.

Know what your organisation has picked up along the way.

Not only the applications IT holds a licence for. BeeSensible sees when AI tools are opened and shows, at organisation level, which ones appear and how usage develops, without reading prompts and without building a file on anyone.

  • Which tools are in use, and by how many people?
  • Which ones surfaced for the first time this month?
  • What share of the usage runs through what you approved?

An impression of the AI tools catalogue. The tools and their risk scores come from the product's own catalogue; the verdict in the last column is your organisation's to set.

The catalog

865 AI tools assessed for risk, and more arrive every week

You should not have to research a tool before you can decide about it.

Before you can decide anything about a tool, you need to know what it does with your data: where the vendor sits, whether it trains on what you type, whether incidents are known. We worked that out for 865 tools, and more arrive every week. What is left is the question only you can answer: is this allowed here, and under what condition?

The GDPR asks for a record of processing, NIS2 for a view of your suppliers, and the EU AI Act for demonstrable AI literacy. Because every observed tool is recorded with its vendor, hosting region and training policy, and carries a decision from your organisation, you can answer at any moment.

See the catalog
  • Which tools are in use, and for what

    Every observed tool is in the register, with vendor, country, hosting region, training policy and the kind of work it is used for.

  • Which of them fit your policy

    One decision per tool: allowed, limited use, not allowed, or no decision yet. Nothing is silently approved; the decision is always yours.

  • What you do to uphold that policy

    Anyone opening a tool you have decided something about sees it at that moment, right in the page. That the notice appeared is counted, without content and without a name, so you can show the mechanism actually reached people.

The overview does not establish that you comply with the law. It shows which measures you can substantiate with measurements, and which you cannot. The judgement stays with you.

02Decide

A writing assistant is not an underwriting model.

A tool that rewrites a letter calls for a different judgement than one that helps decide on acceptance or a claim. Per tool you see the vendor, the country, the data processing agreement, certifications, documented incidents, a risk score across six dimensions and a separate reading under the EU AI Act.

That reading matters more than average here: applications touching creditworthiness and risk assessment of people can fall more heavily under the regulation. We supply the facts, you record the decision.

EU AI Act

Depends on use

The classification depends on which feature you use. Annex III-5 can apply when people are assessed for access to a service.

Policy: No decision yet
AllowedLimited useNo decision yetNot allowed
03Help

An adviser should not have to know the policy by heart.

When someone opens a tool you have decided about, they see that decision with the reason behind it, and the alternative that does fit. When they type into a supported application, names, national identifiers, IBANs, amounts and policy details get marked as they write.

Masking or removing takes one click. BeeSensible does not block and changes nothing by itself.

Control you can show, not only describe.

How often was a marking acted on? How often did someone take the approved environment? What share of AI usage now runs through tools you said yes to? And which kinds of sensitive data still keep turning up?

Those figures exist to back up your measures and steer where it matters. At organisation level, never per employee, and without a single prompt having been kept.

A Tuesday at the office

Risk rarely looks like risk.

09:25

Mortgage advice

An adviser has AI make a note clearer. Income, national ID and account number are still in the pasted text.

11:50

Claims

A file goes into a chatbot with its context for a summary. Medical information travels along that nobody deliberately shared.

14:10

Client contact

A complaint is turned into a proper letter with AI, policy number and full address included.

16:35

Back office

Someone tries a new document recognition tool a colleague was enthusiastic about. The vendor has not been assessed.

Nobody here is dodging the policy. They are helping a client. That is why help while the work happens beats one more instruction.

The rules you already sit inside

Fits obligations that already apply.

GDPR

Financial data, and sometimes more

Incomes, national identifiers and account numbers are personal data; in disability or claims work health information comes with it, under a heavier regime. Regulators note that users enter that data themselves while using generative AI.

BeeSensible marks that data before it is shared and gives aggregate insight into what happened afterwards.

EU AI Act

Not every application weighs the same

Applications touching creditworthiness and risk assessment of people can fall more heavily under the regulation than a writing assistant. The catalogue holds an EU AI Act reading per tool, separate from our own risk score.

A current register of the AI services in use is the start of that. Classifying your own applications stays your work.

Control

Demonstrable, not only described

Supervisors and internal audit ask for measures that work, and for evidence. In the Netherlands the Cybersecurity Act has applied since 15 August 2026 to organisations in scope.

BeeSensible supplies figures on actual AI usage and on what happens after a marking. The risk analysis and the judgement stay with the organisation.

The question that always comes

Getting a grip without building a second risk file.

“So to know what my people do with client data, you are going to keep their prompts?”

No.

A central database of prompts from this sector is not a solution but a new risk: client data, incomes and sometimes health information in one place. That is why the product is built so the content never settles anywhere.

The full story in the Trust Center
  • Detection runs on our own servers at European providers, in working memory, and the text is discarded straight after.
  • No external AI service is involved: nothing goes to ChatGPT, Google, or any other party.
  • Prompts do not reach the dashboard. Not shortened, not as an example.
  • The usage data holds no user id. What an individual colleague did cannot be reconstructed afterwards.
  • Reporting is counts and patterns, never a per-employee view.

Before you look further

The questions people ask first.

Does BeeSensible read along with what our advisers type?

No. The text is checked to mark sensitive data, and then not kept. It goes to our own servers at European providers, is checked in working memory and discarded straight after. No external AI service is involved.

Can administrators see which colleague got a marking?

No. For markings, documents and notices, who it was is not recorded, so it cannot be looked up afterwards either. The dashboard has no per-employee view of any kind. At most the department is stored, and only if you switch those insights on, with a minimum group size.

Does BeeSensible block AI tools?

Never. It also never changes what someone wrote by itself. Your colleague sees what was found and what your organisation decided about that tool, and chooses. If something was sent anyway despite a marking, that gets counted, without content and without a name.

Does BeeSensible assess our own models?

No. The catalogue covers third-party AI services your people use. An underwriting model you had built falls outside it: that is your AI system, with your classification and your validation.

Can we record our own condition per tool?

Yes. A verdict carries the note your colleague sees the moment they open it. So a tool that is fine but not with client data says exactly that.

Where does BeeSensible run?

On our own servers at European providers: the application and the database at Scaleway in Amsterdam, the models at Hetzner in Germany. European companies rather than a European region of an American cloud, so there is no US parent that can be ordered to hand data over. The text is checked there in working memory and discarded straight after. What reaches the dashboard are counts and attributes, never content.

How much work is the rollout?

Not much. No proxy, no change to your network. The extension runs in Chrome and Edge and deploys centrally through Intune; the desktop app installs silently in the background. With a managed rollout your organisation is up inside an hour.

Does detection recognise European financial data?

Yes. The engine works in Dutch and English and recognises IBANs, VAT and company numbers, national identifiers, amounts, salaries and policy numbers among others. Which of those get marked, and how heavily, you set per profile.
