CapaOne Case Study: NIRAS
CapaOne Makes Patching
Easy and Transparent
The combination of CapaOne Updater and CapaOne Security proves to be a powerful solution, as demonstrated by Søren Dahl Nielsen from NIRAS, one of Denmark’s largest consulting engineering companies when patching software.
Updating software on more than 3,000 devices doesn’t have to be resource-intensive — at least not if you ask System Deployment Manager Søren Dahl Nielsen at NIRAS.
At NIRAS, they use CapaOne combined with CapaInstaller, emphasizing how patching third-party software has become significantly more manageable and flexible since integrating CapaOne Updater.
– We take advantage of the workflows within CapaOne, automating the patching of software that continuously requires security updates. Of course, NIRAS also has software with custom configurations that we prefer to manage and package ourselves — and CapaOne provides the flexibility to do just that. We don’t have to automate everything, and we truly appreciate that, explains Søren Dahl Nielsen.
“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.“

Improved Security and Visibility with Risk Scores
Observing Søren’s process, it becomes clear how the combination of CapaOne Updater and CapaOne Security is highly effective.
The comprehensive overview in CapaOne Security allows the IT department to identify and address the most critical vulnerabilities first. The straightforward risk score, calculated by comparing installed software against more than 100,000 CVEs, helps prioritize actions.
– 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, Søren Dahl Nielsen continues.

CapaOne Endpoint Inventory Makes Life Easier
CapaOne Endpoint Inventory includes a detailed inventory of hardware, software, and drivers. With its graphical interface, it simplifies life for the Support team at NIRAS. According to Søren Dahl Nielsen, Support is gradually changing its workflow, as the implementation of CapaOne revealed a far superior way to gain visibility.
– With CapaOne’s flexibility, we are confident we can scale and adapt our security management as our needs evolve, Søren Dahl Nielsen concludes.
