Comprehensive Patch Management
Patch management that keeps every system current and secure.
Unpatched software is one of the most common ways attackers breach businesses. A critical security vulnerability gets discovered in Windows or popular applications. Microsoft or the vendor releases a patch. Businesses that apply the patch quickly stay protected. Businesses that delay or miss the patch become targets. The 2017 WannaCry ransomware attack exploited a Windows vulnerability that had been patched two months earlier, affecting only organisations that hadn’t applied updates.
Our Comprehensive Patch Management service ensures your systems receive security updates promptly and reliably. We monitor for new patches, test them for compatibility issues, deploy them systematically across your environment, and verify successful installation. Critical security patches get deployed within 48 hours of release. Routine updates get scheduled during maintenance windows to minimise disruption. You maintain security without users experiencing unexpected reboots or application problems.
Patch Compliance
Every device patched, every time, without the nagging emails.
Why Patch Management Matters
Protection Against Cyber Threats
Unpatched systems remain one of the leading causes of cyber incidents across Australian businesses. Regular, managed patching closes known security gaps and protects against malware, ransomware, and emerging exploits.
Zero Trust & Device Health
In a Zero Trust security model, only secure and compliant devices are permitted access to business systems. Automated patch management ensures devices remain healthy, trusted, and continuously compliant.
Compliance and Essential Eight Alignment
Many Australian regulatory frameworks require timely patching of operating systems and applications, and the Essential Eight framework specifically identifies patching as a core control, so consistent patching is critical for meeting compliance obligations and achieving higher maturity levels.
Our Patch Management Process
Automated Deployment Across All Applications
We schedule and deploy updates for Windows, macOS, and key applications, minimising disruption while ensuring full coverage. Beyond operating systems, we also patch popular third party apps like browsers, PDF readers, and productivity tools, closing the hidden security gaps that operating system patching alone leaves behind.
Vulnerability Monitoring and Reporting
Our systems continuously monitor for missing patches and known vulnerabilities, alerting us to gaps before they develop into risks. You receive regular reports showing patch status and compliance across your fleet, helping you stay audit ready and informed.
Custom Scheduling and Reboot Management
We work with you to schedule updates at times that minimise impact on your business operations, and clearly communicate reboot windows in advance so users are not caught out by an unexpected restart during a meeting or while working on a critical task.
Why Choose I.T. With You?
Proactive, not reactive
We don’t wait for a breach to act, we keep your systems secure by default.
One Monthly Invoice
We bundle all patch management and support into a single, easy to manage bill.
Aligned with best practice
Our approach supports Zero Trust and ASD Essential Eight maturity, helping you meet both security and compliance goals.
Critical security patches get deployed within 48 hours of release. Routine updates get scheduled during maintenance windows to minimise disruption, so you maintain security without users experiencing unexpected reboots or application problems.
Both. Beyond operating systems, we also patch popular third party apps like browsers, PDF readers, and productivity tools, closing the hidden security gaps that operating system patching alone leaves behind.
The Australian Cyber Security Centre’s Essential Eight framework identifies patching applications and operating systems as core controls, so consistent patching is critical for achieving higher Essential Eight maturity levels and protecting against targeted attacks.
No. We clearly communicate reboot windows in advance and schedule routine updates during maintenance windows that minimise impact on your business operations, so users are not caught out by an unexpected restart during a meeting or critical task.
We believe in transparency, so you have access to our client portal where you can view your devices in real time, including application and operating system patch status as it happens.
