Cloud Content

Store, share and govern research papers, policies and other documents that may hold PHI, with Box run by Moraph

Overview

Moraph resells, implements and runs Box for Healthcare as the place your organization keeps unstructured content: research files, policies, committee papers and documents shared with partners. We configure Box for your folder structure, sharing rules, classification and retention, move content in from file shares, and handle administration and support. Box provides the platform under its business associate agreement with you; Moraph operates it under ours; your organization decides who may see and share what.

The problem it solves

Healthcare organizations keep large amounts of content outside the EHR: research data and papers, policy and procedure documents, committee minutes, contracts and files exchanged with partners. Much of it sits on aging file shares, in personal cloud accounts or in email attachments, where nobody can say who has access, what holds patient information, or how long it is kept. A HIPAA-capable content platform helps only when it is configured with sensible sharing rules, retention and classification, and when someone looks after it day to day.

Who it’s for

  • IT and infrastructure leaders at hospitals, health systems and academic medical centers
  • Research administrators and investigators who share files with outside collaborators
  • Privacy and compliance officers responsible for where PHI is stored and shared
  • Records managers and legal teams who set retention and legal holds
  • Policy and quality teams who publish and maintain controlled documents

How the work flows

  1. OrganizeContent is arranged in a folder structure agreed with you, with each top-level area owned by a department or project and access granted through groups from your identity provider.
  2. ShareStaff share files and folders with colleagues and approved outside collaborators within the rules your privacy officer sets, and folder owners can see and revoke what has been shared.
  3. GovernRetention policies and legal holds are configured in Box as your records and legal teams direct, so content is kept for as long as required and no longer.
  4. Support and monitorMoraph handles requests from your service desk and folder owners, reviews security alerts and unusual activity, and meets you monthly to review the service.

What it does

HIPAA-capable storage
Box for Healthcare is offered with a business associate agreement from Box, and Moraph configures it with the settings your organization needs to store PHI.
Folder structure and ownership
Top-level areas for departments and projects, each with a named owner, and access granted through groups rather than individual invitations.
Sharing rules
Box enforces your defaults for shared links and outside collaborators, such as who may open a link and whether it expires.
Classification labels
Box Shield labels mark content such as PHI or research data and apply stricter sharing and download rules to it, where licensed.
Unusual activity alerts
Box Shield raises alerts for activity such as large downloads or suspicious sign-ins, reviewed by Moraph under your runbook, where licensed.
Retention and legal holds
Box Governance applies retention policies and legal holds that your records and legal teams decide, where licensed.
Version history and recovery
Box keeps file versions and deleted content for the periods your settings allow, and Moraph restores content on request.
Outside collaborator review
Periodic lists of outside collaborators by folder for owners to confirm or remove, so access ends when projects do.
Migration from file shares
Moraph plans and runs moves from file shares and other repositories, with your teams deciding what moves, what is archived and what is deleted.
Desktop and mobile access
Box Drive and the Box mobile apps configured with your device rules, so staff work with files without keeping uncontrolled copies.
Office editing
Documents opened and edited with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace from Box, where your organization uses them.
Administration as a service
User, group and folder administration, access requests and restores handled by Moraph through your service desk.

Integrations

Single sign-on and provisioning
Staff sign in to Box through your identity provider (SAML), and accounts and groups are provisioned from it.
File shares and other repositories
Content moved from network file shares and other repositories during migration, with folder permissions mapped where possible.
Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
Documents stored in Box opened and edited in the office tools your organization uses.
SIEM
Box events such as sign-ins, downloads, sharing changes and admin actions forwarded to your security information and event management system.
Device management
Box Drive and mobile apps deployed and controlled through your mobile device management tools.
Service desk
Access requests, restores and incidents flow between Moraph and your IT service management tool.

Security

Single sign-on
Staff sign in through your identity provider, so your password and multi-factor policies apply.
Role-based access
Administration, support and folder ownership are separate roles, and Moraph's administrators do not open your content without authorization.
Business associate agreements
Moraph signs a business associate agreement with you for its administration and support, alongside your agreement with Box for the Box service.
Encryption and keys
Box encrypts content as part of its service, and Moraph staff cannot use their administrative access to reach content without your explicit, time-bound authorization.
Complete audit trail
Every configuration change, access grant, restore and authorized content access by Moraph is logged with the person and time.
Data residency
Records Moraph keeps about the service stay in the hosting region you choose: the United States, the United Kingdom or Australia. Where Box stores content follows your Box agreement.

Hosting and deployment

Box cloud service
Box operates the content platform in its cloud under your Box agreement; Moraph configures and administers it for you.
Existing Box enterprise
Where you already use Box, Moraph reviews and takes over administration of your existing enterprise without moving content again.
With other Moraph services
Run alongside Moraph's Email Security, Identity Governance or Clinical Collaboration services.

Implementation

Scoping
We agree the users, departments, content sources and Box add-ons in scope, and review any existing Box enterprise. We need contacts from IT, privacy, records and the departments moving first.
Agreements and identity
Business associate agreements are put in place with Box and Moraph, and Box is connected to your identity provider for sign-in and provisioning.
Configuration baseline
Enterprise settings, sharing rules, classification labels and folder structure are configured from a documented baseline and reviewed with your service owner and privacy officer.
Retention and holds
Your records manager's retention schedule is translated into Box policies, where licensed, and the process for legal holds agreed with your legal team.
Migration in waves
Content moves department by department, with your teams deciding what moves, what is archived and what is deleted, and permissions checked after each wave.
Training and handover
Folder owners are trained on sharing and access reviews, the support runbook and escalation routes are agreed, and Moraph takes over administration.

What it doesn’t do

  • Moraph is not Box. Box's own service commitments, support terms, roadmap and outages apply to the platform, and Moraph cannot change them.
  • Licences bought through Moraph remain subject to Box's terms, and some features described here, such as classification, threat alerts and retention, depend on the add-ons you license.
  • Box is a content platform, not an electronic health record or a research data capture system. Clinical documentation stays in your EHR.
  • A business associate agreement with Box is your organization's agreement with Box; Moraph's agreement covers only Moraph's administration and support.
  • Sharing rules reduce the chance of content being shared wrongly; they cannot stop an authorized person from sharing data they are permitted to share.
  • What is migrated, archived or deleted, and how long content is kept, are your organization's decisions.
  • Breach determination and any notification to patients, HHS or the media remain your organization's decisions.
  • Moraph supports your audits and research compliance reviews with evidence; it does not certify your compliance with HIPAA or 21 CFR Part 11.

How to evaluate it

  • List the content sources you would move and decide what you would archive or delete instead
  • Draft your sharing rules for PHI, research data and general content and review them with Moraph
  • Check which Box add-ons your use of classification, alerts and retention would need
  • Walk through a sharing exception from request to end date
  • Review how Moraph's access to content is authorized and reported
  • Confirm who on your side owns each top-level area and approves configuration changes

Questions

Can we store PHI in Box?

Box for Healthcare is offered with a business associate agreement from Box, and Moraph signs its own for administration and support. What PHI you store, and where, is your decision, and Moraph configures classification and sharing rules to match it.

Can Moraph's administrators read our files?

Not without your authorization. Moraph administers users, folders and settings, and opens content only with your explicit, time-bound authorization, which is logged and reported.

We already use Box. Can you take it over?

Yes. Moraph reviews your existing enterprise, agrees a configuration baseline with you and takes over administration without moving content again.

Can researchers share with collaborators at other institutions?

Yes, within the sharing rules your privacy officer sets. Folders labeled as holding PHI can require an approved exception, with an end date, before outside collaborators are added.

Does this replace our EHR's document storage?

No. Clinical documentation stays in your EHR. Box is for content outside it, such as research files, policies, committee papers and shared project documents.

How is it priced?

Box licences and add-ons are priced under Box's terms, usually per user, and the managed service by the scope administered and migrated. See Working with Moraph for what drives a quotation.
