Adds a deployment-tier compliance posture reference doc. Auditors and procurement teams can now self-serve which deployment model maps to which regulatory regime, with authoritative Box-official URLs for every claim.
What ships
references/compliance-by-deployment.md — three deployment models × every regulation Box publicly claims coverage for:
Deployment models
| Model | Components | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| A — On-prem air-gapped | box-memory-onprem only + Box Drive |
IL4 / ITAR / strictest air-gap |
| B — Hybrid | Both plugins; user picks per workflow | Mixed regulated + non-regulated workflows |
| C — Cloud-only | box-memory only (full Box AI) |
Compliance via Box's platform certs, no air-gap claim |
Regulations covered
HIPAA / HITECH, FedRAMP Moderate, FedRAMP High, DoD IL4, ITAR, EAR, IRS 1075, CJIS, StateRAMP, GxP / 21 CFR Part 11, FINRA / SEC 17a-4, GDPR / UK DP, CCPA, PCI DSS Level 1, GLBA.
For each: recommended deployment model + required Box plan + required add-ons (Box Governance, KeySafe, Zones, Shield) + authoritative URL.
Explicit caveats Box doesn't always emphasize
- BAA tier gate — Business / Business Plus cannot sign a HIPAA BAA
- GovCloud-vs-commercial — commercial tenants don't inherit FedRAMP / IL4 / ITAR even though Box (the company) holds those certs
- NOT publicly claimed by Box — IL5, ISO 27701, C5, ENS, IRAP, FedRAMP+ MDA. Don't represent these to regulated customers.
- Box Drive's per-product scope is not publicly enumerated; request explicit attestation from CSM if needed
- Shared-responsibility model — Box's certs cover Box's controls, not your configuration
Workspace config fields added
Optional declaration in _box-memory.json.settings:
compliance_target: hipaa | fedramp-moderate | fedramp-high | il4 | itar | gxp | gdpr | null
box_plan: business | enterprise | enterprise-plus | enterprise-advanced | box-federal
box_addons: [governance, keysafe, zones, shield]
box_zone: us | gov | eu-ireland | eu-germany | uk | au | jp | sg
baa_signed: <date or null>/box-airgap-status reads these and flags mismatches (e.g., declared HIPAA but plan = Business → fail).
Why this lives in the on-prem repo
Regulated workloads are the primary reason users choose the air-gapped variant. They need to defend that choice to auditors. This doc gives them the citations.
The cloud variant (mrdulasolutions/BOX) references the same doc — the compliance landscape applies to both deployment models, with different trade-offs per model.

How to use the doc
- Pick your deployment model based on regulatory regime.
- Confirm Box plan + add-ons match the model's requirements.
- Cite the Box-official URLs from the table for each cert.
- Document
compliance_targetin your workspace config; run/box-airgap-statusto capture as an audit artifact.
Install
Same as v0.0.2 — docs-only release. If you already have v0.0.2 installed and just want the new doc, git pull is enough (or re-download the new plugin zip).
