Case Study: Coalfire achieves centralized content and simplified, stronger security with Box

Coalfire Centralizing content for simplified, stronger security

Coalfire, a cybersecurity and compliance firm serving high‑profile clients across technology, finance, manufacturing and legal sectors, faced a scattered, siloed content environment and growing regulatory and retention requirements. With data hoarding, multiple legacy systems, and shadow IT across 13 offices, the company needed a single, centrally governed platform that preserved user workflows while meeting strict security and audit demands.

Coalfire consolidated content on Box, built an internal workspace (Coalfire One), and added Box Governance for automated retention/destruction and Box KeySafe for customer‑managed encryption keys. The result: simplified content management, stronger governance and compliance, easier audits, full control over encryption without disrupting users, and a more scalable, secure platform for collaborating with clients.
