Case Study: Älmhult Municipality achieves faster, automated patch management with Heimdal Security

Streamlining Patch Management and Strengthening Security Across Municipal Systems

Älmhult Municipality, a Swedish local government authority, needed a better way to manage patching and software across a lean IT environment. Using Heimdal Security’s Patch and Asset Management solution, the municipality sought to replace manual SCCM-based updates, improve visibility into installed applications, and reduce the risk of delayed patches and security gaps.

Heimdal Security implemented automated, silent patch deployment with centralized asset visibility and remote uninstallation, with onboarding completed in about 15 minutes. The result was a major reduction in manual workload, patch management time cut from roughly one full day per week to minimal oversight, and vulnerability remediation accelerated from weeks or months down to as little as 4 hours.
