Operating systems, applications and firmware kept current on a tested schedule that fits your business hours.

What this service covers

Unpatched software is one of the most common ways attackers get in. Patch management makes sure Windows, macOS and the third-party applications your staff use (browsers, PDF readers, Zoom, Java and others) are updated soon after fixes are released.

Updates roll out to a small pilot group first. If nothing breaks, they go to everyone during an agreed maintenance window, so reboots never interrupt a client meeting or a month-end close.

Common questions

What if an update breaks something?

Pilot testing catches most issues. If one reaches users, we roll it back and hold it until a fix is available.

Do you patch servers too?

Yes, with separate windows and pre-update backups.
