Case Study: Region Halland achieves 80% faster AD investigations and unified Active Directory visibility with Quest Change Auditor

Government healthcare agency ensures security and compliance

Region Halland is a Swedish regional healthcare agency supporting hospitals, health centers and public services for the county. With about 8,000 employees and strict obligations under ISO 27001, GDPR and the NIS directive, the IT team struggled to get unified visibility across on‑premises Active Directory and Azure AD; native logs were cryptic and scattered, making investigations slow and putting security, availability and compliance at risk.

Region Halland deployed Quest Change Auditor for Active Directory to gain a single, correlated view of hybrid AD activity, real‑time dashboards, predefined reports, alerts and change‑protection capabilities. The solution was quick to implement, satisfied auditors, and cut incident‑investigation time from around an hour to 5–10 minutes (an >80% reduction), improved access control and accountability, and simplified monitoring of critical changes.
