Bor Enterprise is the Bor server you already know, with the features that mostly matter to large organizations and with support from the people who build Bor. It is built from the same code and released in step with the community edition: Bor Enterprise 0.10 is built on community v0.10.0, and every Enterprise release states the community version it contains.
Nothing changes on the desktops. The agents, the policy types and the console are the open source ones; Bor Enterprise replaces the server and switches its features on with a license.
What Bor Enterprise adds
Single sign-on and provisioning
- OpenID Connect and SAML 2.0 sign-in, with single logout and the identity provider’s own MFA counted as the second factor.
- Account linking by email for existing users. Linking an administrator account needs a prior, expiring approval by another administrator, so a claim at the identity provider can never take over an admin account on its own.
- SCIM 2.0 provisioning of users and groups from the identity provider. Bor keeps deciding which roles a provisioned group carries.
- Entra ID group overage is handled; a user with hundreds of groups still signs in correctly.
Delegated administration
- A role can be assigned for a single node group: a site, a department or a school manages only its own machines, policies, bindings and compliance results, and sees nothing else.
- Users, roles, settings, audit logs and disk encryption always need a global assignment, so delegation never widens into tenant-wide control.
Compliance reports
- Point-in-time snapshots of the fleet: every node’s posture, the policies in force, the agent’s last result per setting with benchmark control labels, stale and unreachable markers, and a compliance score.
- Framework mappings to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A, NIS2 Article 21(2) and the CIS benchmarks for RHEL 9 and Ubuntu 24.04, with a Controls tab that shows the evidence behind each control.
- Evidence that holds up. A report never changes after it is generated. It is stored as a canonical bundle whose hash is written to the audit log and re-checked on every open.
- Schedules and delivery by signed webhook or email, comparison with an earlier report, sign-off by a second person, legal hold and accepted waivers with an expiry.
- Documents for auditors: signed PDF/A-2b with optional RFC 3161 time
stamps, OCSF 1.3.0 findings for a SIEM, and CSV. The
bor-verifytool lets an auditor check a report without access to a Bor server.
A license that works offline
- A license is a small signed file with an end date per feature. The server verifies it against public keys built into the binary and never contacts anyone to do so: no phone-home, no license server, no telemetry.
- Install it in the console under Settings, License, or mount it as a file for Helm and GitOps deployments, where the file wins over anything installed through the UI.
- A renewal that fails verification keeps the previous license in force and shows a warning, so a typo never switches a fleet’s features off.
Supply chain and the Cyber Resilience Act
The EU Cyber Resilience Act makes manufacturers responsible for the security of their products over their whole lifetime: vulnerability handling and reporting (in force since September 2026), a software bill of materials, security updates and documentation. Organizations under NIS2 pass the same expectations on to their suppliers. Bor Enterprise delivers that material with every release, so the evidence is ready when procurement or an auditor asks for it:
- Software bill of materials for the server, the agent and the container image, in CycloneDX and SPDX, per release.
- VEX statements and vulnerability scan reports per release, so a CVE in a dependency comes with a verdict on whether Bor is affected, not just a scanner finding.
- Signed artifacts end to end: packages, package repositories, container images and release checksums, verifiable offline with published keys.
- Reproducible builds, so a package can be rebuilt from the tagged source and compared byte for byte.
- Coordinated vulnerability disclosure: reports to bor@vute.tech are acknowledged within 48 hours, fixes target 90 days, and disclosure is coordinated with the reporter. Security fixes always land in the community edition first, and an Enterprise release follows the same day.
- Security advisories for every fix, with early notice for Enterprise Plus customers, and a long-term-support branch that receives security backports.
- Documentation pack for procurement and audits: security whitepaper, data processing agreement (GDPR Article 28), sub-processor list, SBOM samples, accessibility statement (WCAG 2.2 AA) and the vulnerability handling policy.
Offerings
Bor Enterprise is sold per managed device per year. A managed device is an enrolled agent that checked in during the last 30 days, so retired machines stop counting on their own. There is no per-user pricing.
Bor Enterprise
On-premises. The enterprise features, the supply-chain material above and business-hours support, on your own servers with your own CA and database, including air-gapped sites.
Bor Enterprise Plus
Everything in Bor Enterprise, plus the long-term-support branch with security backports, FIPS 140-3 and PKCS#11 / HSM builds, an offline mirror kit for air-gapped sites, 24/7 response for severity-1 incidents, early security advisories and a named technical contact.
Bor Cloud
A managed Bor instance per customer, not a shared multi-tenant service: your own server, your own CA, your own database, operated by Vute Tech and hosted only with EU-owned providers, in Germany or Finland at your choice. Everything can be exported, so moving to on-premises later is always possible. Cloud Sovereign adds dedicated hardware, customer-managed keys and the stricter support level.
Support levels
| Bor Enterprise, Cloud Standard | Bor Enterprise Plus, Cloud Sovereign | |
|---|---|---|
| Hours | Business hours, CET | 24/7 for severity 1 |
| Severity-1 response | 8 business hours | 1 hour |
| Severity-2 response | 2 business days | 4 hours |
| Channels | Email, portal | Email, portal, phone, named contact |
| Security advisories | At public release | 7 days early notice |
| Supported releases | Current release | 3 years per LTS release |
Services
- Pilot: four weeks, up to 50 devices, success criteria agreed up front, credited against the first year.
- Onboarding: installation, PKI or HSM integration, LDAP, Active Directory or FreeIPA, and the first policy set.
- Group Policy migration workshop: map existing Windows GPOs to Bor policies.
- Administrator training with certification.
- Sovereign operations: Vute Tech operates your on-premises instance.
Programmes and procurement
- Volume bands for larger fleets, and a shared-service license for regional IT centres that run Bor for many municipalities.
- Reduced rates for education, including a per-school flat rate, and for non-profits, with a grant programme for small organizations.
- Invoice-only purchasing, a fixed-price pilot that fits below direct-award thresholds, and contracts and documentation in English plus the customer’s language where possible.
Ask for a quote with your device count and segment; list prices and the discount programmes are confirmed in the offer.
What stays open source
The community edition is free and open source, forever: no time limits, no node limits, no registration, no license key. Features that are already in it stay in it, and everything that matters to everyone, from policy types to security fixes, is developed in the open. These are commitments, written down in the announcement of the license change and in the Contributor License Agreement.
Who it is for
- Public sector and regulated organizations that need audit-ready evidence of desktop compliance mapped to ISO 27001, NIS2 or CIS.
- Organizations with an identity provider that want sign-in and user provisioning to follow the directory, not a separate user list.
- Distributed fleets, from school districts to companies with many sites, where each location should manage its own machines and nothing more.
- Small and medium businesses and their managed service providers, who want the managed instance or a small on-premises pack without a procurement project.
