Box, Inc., the leading Intelligent Content Management platform, today unveiled the expansion of Box Zones, adding new Zones in Switzerland, Israel, and Singapore, while enhancing its France and Canada Zones with additional in-region compute capabilities. These updates enable organisations to securely store content within regional boundaries, helping meet local compliance and data residency requirements while enhancing security, visibility and control over data protection.
Box expands Zones to Switzerland, Israel, and Singapore with in-region compute.
Box Zones now spans 10 locations: Australia, Canada, EU, France, Israel, Japan, Singapore, Switzerland, UK, and US.
Storage and key compute activities occur in-region across all Zones.
Box KeySafe enables independent management of encryption keys.
Box Governance provides content lifecycle management with retention and disposition.
Plans to introduce in-region storage for metadata and Box AI later this year.
As organisations across all industries and global markets face requirements to ensure data is stored and processed within specific geographic boundaries, Box Zones provides a flexible way for customers to support data residency while enabling collaboration across teams, regions, and business units. Customers can activate their preferred regions, define a default Zone, and assign users to specific Zones, all within a single Box instance and without disrupting the user experience. By ensuring content follows its owner and remains managed with a single enterprise environment, Zones can help organisations meet regional compliance requirements, maintain control over where data resides, and securely deploy AI-powered use cases without creating collaboration silos.
Frank Schöne, Director IT & Technical Director Newsroom at C3 Creative Code and Content GmbH, stated: "As an agency serving major German enterprises across automotive, insurance, banking, and manufacturing, we need to work in a way that reflects our customers' data residency and security requirements. Box Zones helps us do that in our day-to-day collaboration."
Samantha Wessels, SVP EMEA at Box, commented: "Data residency has become a non-negotiable business decision for multinational enterprises and regulated industries. In general, we are focused on ensuring Box is meeting the evolving needs of our global customers. With these new Box Zones investments, we're giving our customers more choice over where their content, metadata, and AI-powered workflows are handled, while preserving the simplicity, security, and collaboration that Box delivers globally."
Box extends its security and governance capabilities through products like Box KeySafe, which enables organisations to independently manage their encryption keys, and Box Governance, which helps streamline content lifecycle management with flexible retention schedules, preservation for defensible discovery, and structured disposition management. Box Archive further supports long-term compliance by allowing organisations to retain inactive but valuable content in a secure, governed archive, while Box Shield and Shield Pro provide advanced security controls designed to protect sensitive data from accidental or malicious leakage.
