Close the Gap Between Discovery and Remediation
Most breaches exploit vulnerabilities that have a patch available — sometimes for months. Patching is not glamorous, but it is the single highest-ROI security control your team is probably under-resourced to run consistently. We take it off your plate.
Our Patching as a Service practice covers every layer: OS, hypervisor, network device firmware, container base images, third-party libraries, and end-user software. We test in staging, schedule rollouts to match your change windows, and provide rollback paths for every batch.
Every patch cycle produces audit-ready evidence — CVE coverage, success/failure counts, exception register, and SLA compliance — mapped to your compliance framework (PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, HIPAA, SOC 2).
Schedule a ConsultationMost Breaches Are Patchable
60%+ of incidents involve a known CVE with a patch already published. The control gap is execution.
Time-to-Patch Is The KPI
Reduce mean-time-to-patch from weeks to hours on critical CVEs with managed cycles.
Hybrid Stacks Are Hard
On-prem, cloud, OT, and SaaS each need different patch cadence and tooling. We unify it.
Audit Evidence Built In
Every cycle ships with PCI 6.3.3 / ISO A.12.6.1 / SOC 2 CC7.1-aligned reporting.

Frees Your Ops Team
Stop burning senior engineers on Tuesday-night Windows updates. Hand it off.
No Surprise Outages
Staged rollouts with health checks and instant rollback so a bad patch never takes prod down.
What We Patch For You
Pick the layers that match your environment — most clients start with OS + third-party software and expand.
Why Organizations Outsource Patching
Predictable SLAs
Critical CVE patched within 24 hours, high within 7 days, medium within 30 — contractually.
Lower Operational Cost
No 2 a.m. maintenance windows for your team. No tooling licenses to manage.
Compliance-Ready Evidence
Audit trail every assessor accepts — patch register, exceptions, deviations, sign-offs.
Reduced Attack Surface
Continuous remediation closes the window between disclosure and exploitation.
Tested Before Production
Staging validation + canary rollouts catch bad patches before they reach prod.
Rollback Guarantee
Every patch batch has a documented, tested rollback. No "the patch broke prod" stories.
CVE Categories We Close
Remote Code Execution
Highest-priority CVEs — Log4Shell-class, ProxyShell, MOVEit-style remote exploits.
Privilege Escalation
PrintNightmare, Polkit, Sudo CVEs — local foothold to admin in one bug.
Information Disclosure
Heartbleed-class memory leaks exposing keys, sessions, PII.
Denial of Service
Network-stack DoS in firewalls, load balancers, VPN concentrators.
Authentication Bypass
Pre-auth CVEs in admin consoles, VPNs, identity providers.
Supply Chain CVEs
Third-party library vulnerabilities pulled in via OS packages, SBOMs, container layers.
What You Receive
Patch Register
Live inventory of every host, package, current version, and target version.
SLA Dashboards
Real-time view of MTTP, success rate, exception count, by environment.
CVE Coverage Reports
Per-cycle CVE list closed, deferred (with risk acceptance), and pending.
Audit Evidence Pack
PCI-DSS / ISO 27001 / SOC 2 / HIPAA-aligned evidence bundles per cycle.
Runbook Library
Per-asset patch + rollback runbooks, version-controlled and reviewable.
Monthly Risk Review
Executive briefing on residual risk, exception aging, upcoming critical patches.
The Patching Lifecycle
Asset Discovery & Baseline
Inventory hosts, packages, current patch state. Map to CVE feed + compliance scope.
CVE Triage & Prioritisation
Score by CVSS + EPSS + exploit availability + asset criticality. Critical → SLA clock starts.
Staging Validation
Apply to staging mirror, run smoke tests + regression suites, capture rollback artefacts.
Change Approval
Submit through your change board with risk score, blast radius, and rollback plan.
Production Rollout
Wave-based deployment — canary → tier-3 → tier-2 → tier-1 with health gates between each.
Verification & Evidence
Post-patch CVE re-scan, success-rate report, audit pack generation, exception register update.
