Fine-tune your CRM for simplicity and security

Charities often handle sensitive data, and sometimes, it's inappropriate or unhelpful to share everything with everyone. With Beacon you have full control over what your people can see and do in your CRM, keeping things safe and secure.
Roles & Permissions
A simple way to control which parts of Beacon your users can access.
Create a role
A role is essentially a team or function within your charity, such as fundraising, finance or service delivery.
Set permissions
Tell Beacon exactly what users within this role should be able to see and do. Choose which features and record types they can access, and whether they can view data, edit it, or have no access at all.
Assign users to the role
Easily attach a user to a role, and hey presto, their experience of Beacon is customised to their needs! No unnecessary clutter for them, no security worries for you.

Meet Advanced Permissions
For those who need granular, rules-based control over which
specific records and fields users can access.
Play by your rules
Create rules to control which users have access to specific records, and the fields within those records, keeping highly sensitive data under lock and key.
Case workers can be set to only access their own cases that are not closed, and the people linked to those cases.
Volunteers can be set to only access the people records for the events they are helping out at.
Ensure that your Philanthropy Managers are the only ones who can access your high-profile donor's contact information. David Beckham sends his thanks!
Serious about security
Keeping your data safe is the most important thing we do. That's why Beacon is ISO 27001:2022 certified, the most highly-regarded global standard for data security.

With Beacon, we’ve simplified our entire process for handling donations. Beacon automates everything - from taking donations online and acknowledging donors right through to our Gift Aid submissions. It’s easily saving us 20 hours every single week.

Beacon has saved us so much time across the board and we’re getting things done that have been on hold for so long.

Goodheart
We claimed a bunch of extra Gift Aid and the workflows and simplified processes have saved us three to four hours of admin every week.

A friend called me after setting up a regular donation to tell me they'd received the most beautifully written email. They said, 'Gosh, you've really got your team well drilled', which was amazing because we hadn't really done anything!

Before we partnered with Beacon, we ran an event which had an estimated 110 hours of admin work, which is 50 full days! We repeated the event during Beacon setup and the admin took an hour. The volume of paper Beacon has removed from our operations is absurd.
Don’t just take our word for it…
