Your workforce moves fast. Managed devices and VDI slow you down.
Hiring changed. Your workforce now spans full-time staff, contractors, offshore teams, and short-term specialists — most of them remote, many working on unmanaged devices. The business expects each one to be productive on day one.
Managed laptops can’t keep that pace. You order the hardware, image it, ship it, and wait. A new hire loses their first week following a tracking number. A contractor on a three-month engagement rarely justifies the effort at all. Securing remote work with VDI is a similar story – support and help desk tickets, provisioning systems and change management.
Off-boarding is just as bad. A successful employee and contractor off-boarding shouldn’t depend on a shipping label — but with managed devices, it does. You can’t wipe what you can’t reach, and a share of those laptops never come back with the data still on them.
Every hire starts with a hardware bill
You buy the laptop, image it, ship it, track it, then refresh or replace it later. Each new worker adds cost before they’ve done a single day of work.
Day one becomes day seven
New hires and contractors wait on a device in transit. Productivity stalls behind logistics you don’t control, and the bottleneck gets worse the faster you hire.
Some laptops never come home – especially temp contractor devices
When a worker leaves, you’re chasing a device across the country or globde. Return shipping is slow, some hardware never returns, and company data sits on all of it until it does.
Managed Devices vs. Blue Border™
There’s a better way: with Blue Border, work runs locally inside a company-controlled secure enclave on the worker’s own PC or Mac — so onboarding takes minutes and off-boarding is a single remote wipe. No delays, no change management, no residual data risk.

How Blue Border™ Works
Installing Blue Border on a Mac or PC creates a company-controlled secure enclave directly on the device — work data, apps, networking, and AI all run locally inside it.
- Network. Work traffic routes through Venn’s built-in VPN gateway — or your existing private network.
- Applications. Every app — installed, browser-based or AI — is wrapped by a blue line, creating a virtual firewall and enforcing DLP at the app level.
- Files. Users save only to work-sanctioned file systems inside Venn Disk that are isolated, encrypted and remote wipeable.
All activity outside Blue Border™ stays 100% private.
Any worker. Any network. Any device. Any application.
Onboard any worker in minutes, anywhere
A new hire or contractor installs Blue Border on the device they already own and starts working the same day. No procurement queue, no imaging, no tracking number standing between them and day one.
Cut the hardware you buy, ship, and chase
You stop paying to buy, image, ship, track, and replace laptops for every worker. Blue Border runs on devices your people already have, which also eliminates VDI infrastructure — customers save up to 60% versus VDI.
Off-board instantly, with nothing left behind
When a worker leaves, one remote wipe clears the enclave and all company data in seconds. It works whether the device is across town or across the world, so employee offboarding security no longer depends on getting hardware back
Take laptop logistics off IT’s plate
No shipping, no returns, no recovery calls, no refresh cycles. Your team stops managing hardware in transit and gets back to work that actually moves the business forward.
Frequently Asked Questions
A worker installs Blue Border on their own Mac or PC, which creates a company-controlled secure enclave in minutes. Work data and apps run isolated from personal use, with built-in DLP. When the worker leaves, one remote wipe removes the enclave and all company data instantly, without touching personal files.
With managed laptops, you buy, image, ship, track, and eventually recover hardware — and day one waits on delivery. Blue Border runs on the device the worker already owns, so onboarding takes minutes. Offboarding is a remote wipe, not a return shipment, so you’re never chasing a device to close out access.
VDI can keep data off the device, sure – but it forces every worker through a laggy and latency prone user experience. Blue Border keeps work local and native instead. A virtual desktop fundamentally changes how the user works which creates change management whereas Blue Border is designed to make interacting with your data and apps seamless and natural.
Yes. Blue Border enforces turnkey controls for HIPAA, FINRA, SEC, SOC 2, PCI, and GDPR, and the instant remote wipe gives you clean employee offboarding security evidence. Because control lives in the enclave rather than the personal side of the hardware, you prove data was removed without needing to physically recover the device.
Minutes. There’s no procurement queue, no imaging, and no shipping. The worker installs Blue Border on a device they already have and starts working the same day, which removes the hardware bottleneck that turns day one into day seven.
You trigger a remote wipe and the enclave — with all company data — is gone in seconds. It works whether or not the device ever returns, so a laptop that’s lost, kept, or stranded in shipping is no longer a data risk. So, you can use Blue Border with a managed or unmanaged device.
Ready to onboard fast and off-board clean?
Put new hires and contractors to work on day one, then clear every trace of company data with a single remote wipe — no laptops to ship, track, or chase down.
