So is Box considered a secure portal?

Yes and no.
Compare https://www.box.com/business/enterprise-security/ with https://www.dropbox.com/security plus https://www.dropbox.com/business/why-dr ... r-business. Both companies claim to comply with various standards for security and privacy. The thing that stands out for DropBox is the third party auditing, including the availability of their SOC 2 report. It's possible that Box has something similar, but I couldn't find it (or they don't mention it on their web site).
I don't know whether SOC 2 is the appropriate standard, and I can't define due diligence for you. For personal use, I might trust a company with lower standards. But my personal opinion is that for any significant business use involving confidential customer data, due diligence means at a minimum ensuring that the provider undergoes periodic security auditing by a responsible third party.
