CapaOne & NIRAS:
Makes Patching Easy and Transparent
A Global Engineering Consultancy with Thousands of Devices.
I’m not exaggerating when I say security has improved significantly. The complexity in CapaOne is low, it’s transparent, and we don’t need to navigate countless submenus to gain an overview and address security gaps across our 60+ locations worldwide.
NIRAS is one of Denmark’s largest consulting engineering companies, employing more than 3,000 people across 60+ locations worldwide.
The organization works in construction, sustainability, infrastructure, environment, and energy, and depends on a wide application and hardware landscape to support its global workforce.
The IT department manages more than 3,000 devices and must maintain security, visibility, and consistent patching across all endpoints.
Business Challenge
Keeping Thousands of Devices Updated and Secure
Updating software across 3,000+ devices was resource-intensive.
Many applications required frequent security updates, while other software needed custom configurations that NIRAS preferred to handle internally.
Balancing automated patching with manual packaging — without unnecessary complexity — was a key requirement.
The IT team also needed better visibility and a simple way to identify vulnerabilities across their international environment.
The Solution
On-Premise CapaInstaller Combined With CapaOne Cloud Products
NIRAS uses the on-premise, CapaInstaller, from CapaSystems together with several CapaOne cloud services to streamline patching and strengthen security across a global device environment.
Workflows enable automated patching where it makes sense, while still allowing the IT team to manage and package custom-configured applications internally.
Today, several CapaOne services play a central role in daily operations:
- CapaOne Application Manager automates patching of third-party software that requires continuous security updates, while supporting custom application packaging
- CapaOne Security Monitor provides clear visibility into vulnerabilities, supported by a risk score based on more than 100,000 CVEs to help prioritize the most critical issues
- Endpoint inventory gives Support detailed insight into hardware, software, and drivers, improving day-to-day troubleshooting and visibility
The Outcome
Stronger Security and Better Visibility Across 60+ Locations
Security has improved significantly thanks to automated patching and clearer insight into vulnerabilities.
The transparent interface reduces complexity and helps the IT department avoid navigating multiple submenus when assessing risks.
Support now works more efficiently due to improved visibility from the endpoint inventory.
With a flexible setup, NIRAS can scale and adapt its security processes as the organization evolves.

CapaOne products used
Application Manager
Simplifies packaging, accelerates deployment, and automates updates for third-party and business applications, resulting in optimal endpoint performance and a fortified security posture.
Explore Application ManagerSecurity Monitor
Surfaces configuration drift and vulnerability insights across endpoints, providing IT with clarity on exposure and security gaps.
Explore Security MonitorHow Do You Keep Devices Secure Across Offices in Different Countries?
NIRAS applies the same workflows to more than 3,000 devices spread across 60+ locations worldwide. Application Manager updates the applications that need continuous security fixes, so a device in one country meets the same standard as a device in another.
How Do You Prioritize Which Vulnerabilities to Fix First?
Security Monitor gives NIRAS a risk score built on more than 100,000 CVEs. The score points the IT department toward the most critical issues first, rather than leaving them to assess a flat list of findings.
Can You Automate Patching and Still Package Applications Yourself?
NIRAS does both. Workflows handle the applications that need frequent security updates, and the IT team retains full control over software that requires custom configuration.
How Do You See What Hardware and Software a Device Actually Has?
NIRAS gives Support detailed insight into hardware, software, and drivers on each device. Knowing what sits on the machine before troubleshooting starts shortens the daily work across more than 60 locations.
