Ideal Customer
- Venn's sweet spot spans SMB to mid-market and into enterprise, with a particular concentration among small-to-midsized regulated organizations — third-party customer analysis shows 51% of detected customers have 2–10 employees and 38% have 11–50 employees, skewing heavily toward financial advisory firms, RIAs, and family offices.
- The platform is designed for any compliance-driven organization that relies on contractors, remote employees, or BYOD workforces on unmanaged PCs and Macs — particularly those looking to eliminate VDI costs or avoid shipping corporate hardware.
Key Differentiators
- Venn claims to be the first purpose-built, patented technology for Secure BYO-PC — creating a company-controlled secure enclave directly on the local device without any VDI, streaming, or virtualization, enabling native application performance with no latency tradeoff.
- Its key differentiators over VDI are cost (up to 40% less expensive), speed (no remote session), and simplicity (a single lightweight agent install with no backend infrastructure), while its advantage over enterprise browsers is that it governs both browser-based and locally installed desktop applications uniformly.
Industries Served
- Venn serves security- and compliance-driven organizations across financial services (RIAs, independent advisors, broker-dealers subject to SEC/FINRA), healthcare and telehealth (HIPAA-regulated coders, billers, revenue cycle teams, and clinical staff), legal services, technology companies, BPOs and call centers, and education.
- Third-party analysis indicates financial services — particularly wealth management, RIAs, and family offices — represent roughly 50% of detected customers, with the remaining spread across construction, real estate, insurance, manufacturing, and IT.
Service Coverage
- Venn operates primarily out of its New York City headquarters (16 W 22nd Street, 10th Floor) and serves organizations on a global basis — its software-as-a-service model means any organization with Windows or macOS endpoints can deploy Blue Border™ regardless of location.
- The Wealth Mosaic lists North America as the primary relevant region, and customer references include global organizations such as the IMF, Fidelity, Guardian, Voya, and Whatnot, with one documented case of a hyper-growth AI platform using Blue Border™ to enable same-day onboarding for contractors worldwide.
Partnerships
- Venn maintains a formal Partner Program for Value Added Resellers, Solution Providers, and MSPs, offering guaranteed gross margin on every deal, deal registration, renewals at the same margin in perpetuity, co-brandable marketing, Market Development Funds (MDF), joint sales support, and training and certification.
- On the technology integration side, Blue Border™ integrates with identity providers Okta and Microsoft Entra ID (SSO/MFA), endpoint security tools CrowdStrike Falcon, SentinelOne Singularity, Microsoft Defender, and Trend Micro, SASE/network vendors Zscaler, Netskope, Palo Alto Prisma Access, Cisco AnyConnect, Cisco+ Secure Connect, and Fortinet FortiClient, as well as productivity and storage platforms including Microsoft 365, Google Drive, RingCentral, Zoom, Splunk, and Egnyte.
Company Size & Ownership
- Venn was founded in 2019 by CEO David Matalon and CTO Alex Osipov, with the Blue Border™ product officially launching in May 2022.
- The company employs approximately 122–138 people as of mid-to-late 2026 per PitchBook and Tracxn data.
Compliance & Certifications
- Blue Border™ supports customer compliance with HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2 (Type 2), FINRA, SEC, GDPR, and NAIC regulations by enforcing data isolation, DLP, and audit controls at the endpoint level.
- Venn itself has achieved SOC 2 Type 2 certification, as referenced directly in customer testimonials on the company's website.

Offerings
10 offeringsBlue Border™
Blue Border™ is Venn's core software product that installs on any Mac or PC to create a company-controlled secure enclave directly on the device. Inside the enclave, work data, applications, AI workflows, and networking are isolated and encrypted, with DLP enforced across copy/paste, download, upload, screenshot, print, and AI tool access. IT can remotely wipe the enclave instantly upon offboarding without touching personal data outside it, and the product supports compliance with HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, FINRA, SEC, and GDPR on unmanaged and BYOD devices.
Blue Border™ as Enterprise Browser Alternative
Blue Border™ serves as an alternative to enterprise browsers by securing both browser-based and locally installed desktop applications inside a company-controlled secure enclave, rather than limiting security to what happens within a single managed browser. Employees keep their normal browser and existing desktop apps such as Office, softphones, IDEs, and native CRM clients, which all run inside the enclave with consistent DLP and AI governance applied across all of them. The enclave works on managed, unmanaged, and BYOD devices without VDI, and personal activity outside the enclave remains fully private.
Blue Border™ for BPOs and Call Centers
Blue Border™ for BPOs enables business process outsourcing firms to secure client data on agents' personal or unmanaged devices without shipping laptops or running VDI infrastructure, supporting SOC 2, PCI, HIPAA, and FINRA compliance. Agents are onboarded in minutes on devices they already own and offboarded with a single remote wipe that purges all company data, enabling rapid scaling for seasonal demand and new client onboarding. The enclave isolates client data from personal use and governs AI tool access, while preserving agent privacy outside the enclave.
Blue Border™ for Contact Center / Call Center Security
Blue Border™ deployed for contact center agents allows softphone, VoIP, video, and CRM applications to run locally at full native speed inside a secure enclave on any personal or BYOD Mac or PC, eliminating the latency introduced by VDI. IT governs cardholder data, PII, and PHI on unmanaged agent devices with DLP controls across copy/paste, download, upload, screenshot, print, and AI, supporting PCI DSS, HIPAA, and FINRA compliance. Seasonal and BPO agents can be onboarded in minutes and offboarded with a single remote wipe.
Blue Border™ for Financial Services
Blue Border™ for financial services provides SEC, FINRA, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 compliant data isolation and DLP on personal and unmanaged devices used by independent advisors, contractors, and remote employees. IT governs copy/paste, download, upload, screenshot, print, and AI tool access inside the enclave, blocking unsanctioned AI models from accessing client non-public information. Applications run locally at native speed without VDI, and the clear visual Blue Border indicator distinguishes work from personal activity on the same device.
Blue Border™ for SASE Endpoint Gap
Blue Border™ complements existing SASE deployments by adding a secure enclave on the local endpoint that protects data at rest on the disk and in use in local applications — coverage that SASE network inspection cannot reach once data lands on the device. DLP governs copy/paste, downloads, uploads, screenshots, print, and AI tool access directly on the device, including when traffic is not flowing through the SASE fabric. The deployment is additive and requires no new network infrastructure, extending compliance scope to HIPAA, FINRA, SEC, SOC 2, PCI, and GDPR at the endpoint.
Blue Border™ for Technology Providers
Blue Border™ for technology companies enables dev teams, remote employees, and global partners to work securely on their own unmanaged or BYOD PCs and Macs without VDI, device lockdowns, or application performance tradeoffs. Work applications run locally inside the secure enclave at native speed, and IT can onboard and offboard workers rapidly without shipping hardware or standing up backend infrastructure. The solution reduces capital expenses associated with hardware, shipping, and VDI/DaaS while enforcing data isolation and compliance requirements.
Blue Border™ for Telehealth
Blue Border™ for telehealth and healthcare organizations isolates and encrypts ePHI on any device used by remote medical coders, billing specialists, revenue cycle teams, and telehealth providers, supporting HIPAA Security Rule safeguards without requiring full device management. The software installs on the device a contractor already owns, enabling rapid onboarding, and a single remote wipe instantly removes the enclave and all patient data upon offboarding. Applications including EHR systems run locally at native speed, eliminating the latency that VDI adds to coding and clinical workflows.
