Case Study: La Coop Purdel achieves reduced risk and faster remediation with Rapid7 Nexpose

Nexpose Enables La Coop Purdel to Mitigate Risk More Efficiently

Quebec-based food cooperative La Coop Purdel, founded in 1928 and serving thousands of members, had grown from a handful of hosted servers to a mixed environment of physical and virtual systems across 11 sites. With security previously basic, IT manager Sylvain Drapeau needed a more efficient way to prioritize remediation and manage time-consuming patching so the team would address critical risks instead of low-risk systems.

By deploying Rapid7’s Nexpose, La Coop Purdel implemented prioritized remediation (including the “top 25” remediation report), scheduled customizable reports, and Adaptive Security to monitor risk between scans. The tools let the team target high-risk systems, streamline patching, and produce management-friendly and technical reports—resulting in faster, more focused remediation and a significant reduction in previously missed threats (Sylvain estimates Nexpose closed the gap on roughly 80% of threats they had been missing).
