XFA supports large B2B customers across Europe in cutting CO₂ emissions from commercial real estate. By smartly steering HVAC systems, dnergy helps businesses not only reduce their carbon footprint but also meet evolving national and EU-level climate regulations.

This mission requires flexibility: the company’s engineers work from Spain, Belgium, and home offices across Europe. Their energy managers are often on-site at customer buildings. And all tools, from internal software to knowledge platforms, are hosted in the cloud.

But that flexibility introduces risk, especially for clients in security-sensitive sectors like real estate, insurance, and banking. Device security became a top priority.

“We have a bring-your-own-device policy. But those devices still need to comply with our security standards, especially when working with asset managers or banks.”

dnergy didn’t want to lock everything down through device management, nor leave security unchecked. They needed visibility into their environment and a way to guide teams towards full device security without disrupting productivity.

With XFA, dnergy was able to:

Instantly discover all devices accessing their business data
Assess whether those devices comply with internal security policy
Provide targeted awareness messages to employees
Maintain flexibility while gradually increasing policy enforcement

“I prefer conversations about concrete behavior over abstract policies. XFA gives us data to have those conversations.”

Launching XFA took seconds. dnergy was immediately able to start discovering the devices accessing their data. But more than just speed, the XFA team’s collaborative development stands out.

“I like that the tool improves in co-creation with customers. I’ve had conversations with the XFA team, and soon after, I saw those ideas integrated into the product.”

With XFA, dnergy found a way to grow flexibly and securely. Their team stays productive, while their devices are always secured, no matter where they are working from.
