About Besk.tech

 

BESK TECH builds narrow AI products for organisations whose data cannot leave their own perimeter: banks, government bodies and industrial companies. Our products run inside closed environments on limited hardware and are designed so that sensitive information always stays under the control of its owner.

The company was founded in 2026 by Vladimir Beskorovainyi, who has spent more than 17 years building national-scale AI and data systems and 8 years securing services used by millions of people, including cybersecurity development for Sberbank. He currently leads an engineering organisation of more than 130 engineers as CTO and is the author of Enterprise AI: The KATA Way, an Amazon number one bestseller in Artificial Intelligence.

Our first product is pii-roundtrip, an open-source engine released under the Apache 2.0 licence. It removes personal data from documents before they are sent to an external large language model and restores it locally once the answer comes back. Organisations can therefore use frontier AI services without handing names, account numbers or addresses to a third party. Alongside the engine we carried out an independent benchmark of existing open anonymisation tools on Russian and UK English documents, which is being prepared for publication as a research paper. A free desktop application for Mac is in preparation.

The main challenge in this field is trust. Security teams in regulated sectors cannot send data to cloud AI, and many anonymisation tools either miss identifiers or destroy the meaning of the text, which makes the answer useless. We addressed this with reversible substitution: personal data is replaced with consistent placeholders, the model works on clean text, and the original values are restored only on the user machine. Every design decision was measured against existing tools rather than assumed.

Our second product, AskBase, applies the same closed-perimeter approach to natural-language access to corporate databases. It builds on production experience of text-to-SQL on open-weight models across more than 500 data marts.

All our products are free of charge. Our aim is to give security teams a practical way to adopt AI without creating a new channel for data leakage, and to keep the method open so that others can verify and extend it.
