Patch Management
Automated, policy-driven patch deployment across OS and third-party applications — with compliance reporting for every audit.
Automated Deployment
Patches deploy on schedule during maintenance windows — no manual intervention required.
Staged Rollout
Test patches on a canary group before fleet-wide deployment to catch regressions.
Zero-Day Response
Critical CVEs patched within 24 hours with emergency deployment bypassing normal windows.
Compliance Reports
On-demand patch compliance reports mapped to CIS Benchmarks, CMMC, and SOC 2 controls.
What's Included
- Automated OS patching for Windows, macOS, and Linux
- Third-party application patching (Adobe, Chrome, Java, and 200+ apps)
- Patch testing in staging before production rollout
- Emergency patching SLA for critical CVEs (< 24 hours)
- Compliance dashboards for SOC 2, CIS, and CMMC
- Rollback capability for failed or problematic patches
Unpatched software is the number one attack vector for ransomware and data breaches. The 2021 Kaseya attack, the 2020 SolarWinds compromise, and countless smaller incidents all exploited known vulnerabilities for which patches existed — but hadn't been deployed.
Afocal's Patch Management service ensures that every system in your environment stays current without requiring your team to manage it. We deploy patches across operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux) and over 200 third-party applications on a defined schedule, aligned to your maintenance windows to minimize user disruption.
Before fleet-wide deployment, patches are tested in a staging environment or against a small canary group. This catches the rare but real cases where a patch breaks application compatibility. Rollback procedures are pre-staged so that a problematic update can be reversed within minutes.
For critical CVEs — those with a CVSS score above 9.0 or active exploit in the wild — we activate emergency patching with a 24-hour SLA, bypassing normal change windows. Our compliance dashboard provides real-time patch posture across your fleet, mapped to CIS Benchmark levels and CMMC practices for audit-ready reporting.
