A Global Engineering Consultancy with Thousands of Devices
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
- CapaOne 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 Endpoint Inventory. With a flexible setup, NIRAS can scale and adapt its security processes as the organization evolves.
Key Improvements Experienced by NIRAS

“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, System Deployment Manager, NIRAS
