Challenge	Box, an enterprise content management platform, faced a significant challenge after going public in 2015. They were required to conduct user access reviews in NetSuite, a process that proved to be time-consuming and expensive.

Solution	To meet the regulations imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley act, Box needed a solution that could help them review their thousands of permissions and users to find conflicts. They found Fastpath Assure, an audit and compliance solution with an out-of-the-box ruleset for conflict analysis. Box installed Assure themselves without the need for outside guidance. After easily installing the bundle in NetSuite, they were able to transfer all of their roles straight into the platform. Assure immediately started reporting on permission conflicts in need of mitigation. The review process was significantly shortened, going from a three-month manual process down to a matter of weeks.
