How Secure Is Boex?

Security isn’t an add-on at Boex… it’s foundational.

The Boex platform is built from the ground up to protect sensitive trade data, commercial documents, and business relationships. From day one, Boex has been engineered with a resilience-first security model designed to keep customer information private, contained, and verifiable, without slowing down trade.

Here’s how we do it.

A “Zero-Trust” approach to security

Boex follows a Zero-Trust security model, which means no user, device, or system is trusted by default, even inside the platform.

Every action is checked, scoped, and restricted to only what is strictly necessary. Access is granted based on who you are, what you’re allowed to do, and which organization you belong to.

What this means for you:

  • Your data is isolated to your organization only

  • No user can see across companies or trades

  • Even in the unlikely event of a breach, exposure is contained to a single identity, not the platform as a whole

This approach dramatically reduces systemic risk compared to traditional systems with broad internal access.

Strong access controls and audibility

Boex enforces least-privilege access at every level.

  • Users only see the data they are explicitly permitted to access

  • Sensitive actions are logged and monitored

  • All access to high-value data is auditable

This ensures accountability, transparency, and traceability which are key requirements for modern trade, compliance, and dispute resolution.

Data privacy by design

We believe the safest data is data you don’t unnecessarily store.

Boex applies strict data-minimization principles:

  • Private documents are stored encrypted at rest and never exposed unnecessarily

  • Only essential data points are extracted from trade documents

  • Sensitive information is tokenised wherever possible

In simple terms: we collect less, store less, and expose less, reducing risk at every step.

Tamper-resistant trade records

To protect the integrity of trade agreements, Boex records key transactional events using cryptographic hashing.

This creates:

  • A verifiable history of trade actions

  • Protection against silent changes or “ghost edits”

  • Clear proof of authenticity and non-repudiation

Once recorded, these entries cannot be altered without detection, giving both parties confidence that what was agreed is what stands.

Modern identity and authentication protections

Passwords alone are no longer enough and Boex reflects that.

Access to the platform is protected by a multi-layered identity and risk framework, which may include:

  • Tokenized identity verification from trusted third parties

  • Device and session risk checks

  • IP reputation and behavioural signals

  • Support for phishing-resistant methods such as passkeys

Sessions adapt dynamically based on risk, especially when access occurs from new or shared devices.

Clear financial and legal boundaries

Boex is not a bank, payment processor, or merchant of record.

All financial settlement happens outside the platform through regulated financial institutions. Boex acts as a secure workflow, agreement, and record-keeping layer, not a holder of money.

This clear separation:

  • Reduces regulatory and custody risk

  • Limits exposure in the event of disputes

  • Keeps Boex focused on secure trade execution and documentation

Why this matters for your business

Taken together, Boex’s security model means:

  • Your trade data stays private and compartmentalized

  • Your agreements are protected against tampering

  • Your identity and access are continuously safeguarded

  • Your risk exposure is much lower than with paper-based or email-driven trade

In short, Boex delivers enterprise-grade security without enterprise-level complexity.

Security you don’t have to think about

Boex is designed so security works quietly in the background, letting you focus on trading, not worrying about data exposure, document integrity, or platform risk.
