When you open the Workplace app, you will be prompted to log in using your Workplace Pin, device password, or other biometric authentication method you have enabled such as FaceID or TouchID.
Your Company's Device Policy
In order to ensure the security of your company data, your company may choose to put Security Compliance Checks in place that your device must pass in order to use Venn.
When you access the Workplace app or any managed work apps on your mobile device, Venn checks your device to ensure that it complies with your company's requirements before you can gain access to your work.
If your device fails any of your company's required compliance checks, you will not be able to access your work. Learn how to fix Security Compliance Check failures.
Access Work Apps and Websites on Your Mobile Device
Once you have set up Venn on your Apple device, you will install and use work-managed applications to access work apps, websites, and files on your mobile device.
You can tap Apps in the Workplace app to see the full list of apps and websites that your company has made available for work on mobile.
- Once installed, you can access work-managed apps by tapping the app icon on your home screen.
- You can access work websites from the Apps page of the Workplace app. Saved websites will open in your work-managed browser.
If you aren't sure if an app on your device is work-managed or personal, you can confirm by going to the Apps tab of the Workplace app. Work-managed apps that you have installed on your Apple device are listed in the Installed Apps section.

Work and Personal Use on the Same Mobile Device
Venn was designed to isolate and protect work activity from personal use on the same device.
Company-managed apps send internet traffic over a separate, encrypted connection called your Private Company Gateway before it is routed to and from the internet, ensuring that your company data is protected. Learn more about how Venn protects your work internet traffic.
Applications that you open outside of Venn are completely isolated from work applications, almost as though they were running on separate devices. Venn does not monitor, track, access, or record any of your personal data or activities, including private personal information, browsing activities, and personal files. Learn more about how Venn protects your privacy.
Your Company's Restrictions
In order to secure company data, your company may choose to put Data Loss Prevention policies in place that restrict what you can and can’t do in Blue Border. For example, your company may set a policy that requires your device to have a password enabled.
You can see your company's Data Loss Prevention Policies on the Policies page of the Workplace app.
Policies with a lock to the left of them are current restrictions that your company has in place. These policies only apply to work-managed applications.
