Recommended Actions
- Request Box's current SOC 2 Type II report covering security, availability, and confidentiality trust service criteria — contact their security team directly or visit trust.box.com, where enterprise vendors commonly publish their compliance documentation or provide a request form. Obtain a copy and retain it with your TPSP file for QSA review.
- Obtain a signed Data Processing Agreement (DPA) from Box before any EU consumer data is stored or processed in the platform. Box's legal or privacy team typically provides a standard DPA; review it to confirm GDPR Article 28 compliance, data subject rights handling, and breach notification timelines of 72 hours or less.
- Request Box's PCI-DSS Attestation of Compliance (AOC) or Responsibility Matrix to determine which PCI-DSS 4.0 controls Box manages on your behalf versus which remain the buyer's responsibility. This is required under PCI-DSS Requirement 12.8.5. Contact Box's enterprise sales or compliance team and specify your QSA's requirement.
