Does Box AI sign a BAA?
Only on some plans or setups
Box signs a BAA for Enterprise, Enterprise Plus and Enterprise Advanced accounts, requested by an admin in the Admin Console. Box's HIPAA and AI trust pages never say whether Box AI is inside the BAA, so AI coverage is unknown.

Some plans only
By plan
| Plan | BAA | How to get it | Conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Personal / Starter / Business | No BAA | Not offered | Box's HIPAA FAQ names only the three Enterprise editions as able to sign a BAA. These lower plans are not on that list.[1] |
| Enterprise / Enterprise Plus / Enterprise Advanced | Signs a BAA | Accept or sign online | An admin or co-admin requests it in the Admin Console under Account & Billing > HIPAA Compliance > Request a HIPAA BAA. Box Legal Operations emails the addendum within 3-5 business days. The BAA must be signed before any PHI is stored, and the customer must configure Box in a HIPAA-compliant way.[1] |
Are the AI features covered?
Vendors often sign a BAA for the core product but leave some AI features out. Here is what Box says about each one.
| AI feature | Under the BAA | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Box AI (Q&A, summaries, extraction, Box AI agents)Enterprise / Enterprise Plus / Enterprise Advanced | Not stated | Neither the HIPAA FAQ nor the Box AI Trust page mentions HIPAA, PHI or the BAA in relation to Box AI. Box says Box AI uses foundation models from several vendors, including Microsoft Azure and Google, and does not train on customer content without explicit approval.[1],[2],[3] |

A signed BAA is necessary but not sufficient for HIPAA compliance, which also depends on configuration, access controls, and your own policies. Verdicts summarize the vendor's own published terms as of the date checked; confirm with the vendor and your counsel before sending protected health information. Not legal advice.
