One source of truth – and a stronger foundation for compliance
With Echo, Hørsholm Municipality moved from fragmented data to full visibility and control across all devices –
supporting NIS2 compliance and enabling faster, fact-based decisions.
A municipality in control
Hørsholm Municipality took a strategic step toward stronger control, improved security, and full compliance in their asset management setup.
By implementing Echo as a foundational platform, they moved from working with fragmented data sources to one complete and consistent source of truth.
The result: faster decisions, increased peace of mind, and documented control.
The benefits go beyond operational improvements – the IT operations team is now better equipped to meet the requirements of regulations such as the NIS2 directive. Decisions are made based on facts, not assumptions.
From overview to insight
The municipality already had solid systems and processes in place – but saw the potential to take it a step further with:
-
One reliable, shared data foundation across teams
-
Long-term visibility – even into devices that rarely come online
-
Easy, accurate documentation for audits and compliance reporting
The goal was not to start over – but to strengthen a working setup with more accurate data, automation, and predictability.
NIS2 ready – with a persistent data source
By consolidating all device data within Echo, Hørsholm Municipality has strengthened day-to-day operations and taken a significant step toward NIS2 compliance.
Echo is a persistent data source embedded directly in the BIOS – ensuring continuous insight into all devices, even when they are offline or factory reset.
NIS2 places demands on incident handling, documentation, and supply chain security. Echo provides the transparency and automated control needed to support that.
“We needed a way to consolidate our data – and make it easy to document everything from compliance to asset status.
Echo has not only given us the visibility we were looking for – it has also created a whole new level of reassurance in our day-to-day operations.”
- Ole Kurt Petersen, Head of IT, Hørsholm Municipality
The results
With Echo as a central platform, Hørsholm Municipality has strengthened both day-to-day operations and long-term compliance. This has led to a number of concrete improvements across IT, security, and collaboration:
-
Stable operations and documented control – including with respect to NIS2
-
One unified data source – no discussions around data quality, full transparency into ownership and status of all assets
-
Smooth IT audits – documentation and control are in place

- Ole Kurt Petersen, Head of IT, Hørsholm Municipality
