Securely manage your own encryption keys
Global leaders stay in control with Box KeySafe
Get complete control of your data privacy
With Box KeySafe, you have complete, independent control over your encryption keys. All key usage is unchangeable and includes a detailed record of key usage, so you can track exactly why your organization’s keys are being accessed — with no impact on user experience. If you ever see suspicious activity, your security team can cut off access to the content at any time. And it's all on top of the enterprise-grade security and compliance you get with the leading Content Cloud.
Box KeySafe key encrypted with your AWS/GCP KMS custom key
We leverage Key Management Services (KMS) from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to help you manage your encryption keys. Box KeySafe supports AWS KMS Custom Key Store and GCP Cloud HSM KMS to provide the control and protection of a dedicated hardware security module (HSM), without requiring you to manage any hardware. You can use AWS/GCP to store encryption keys in private dedicated CloudHSMs while using the KMS interface to generate and control access to the keys.
Government agencies leverage Box KeySafe with AWS GovCloud
As government agencies move highly sensitive workloads into the cloud, Box KeySafe with AWS GovCloud ensures compliance with ITAR/EAR and IRS-1075 requirements. Box KeySafe leverages AWS KMS in the AWS GovCloud region — giving agencies and organizations that work with the U.S. government independent control over their content encryption keys.
