Security Patch Management & Vulnerability Remediation
Build a repeatable patching program that identifies risk, prioritizes remediation, deploys approved updates, validates results, and tracks exceptions across endpoints, servers, applications, and cloud infrastructure.
01Reduce exposure to known and actively exploited vulnerabilities
02Create clear patch ownership, priorities, and remediation timeframes
03Deploy updates through a controlled process with measurable results
04Give leadership evidence of coverage, exceptions, and progress
What is included
A complete, decision ready engagement.
Final scope is tailored to your environment, objectives, and constraints. A typical engagement can include:
- Asset and patching coverage assessment

- Risk based remediation timeframes
- Critical and emergency patch procedures
- Testing groups and phased deployment rings
- Maintenance windows, change control, rollback, and communications
- Microsoft Intune update ring configuration
- Windows Autopatch configuration and operational review
- Windows Server and Azure Update Manager support
- Third party application patching strategy
- Vulnerability prioritization based on exploitability, exposure, and asset criticality
- Approved patch deployment and remediation coordination
- Failed deployment, exception, and risk acceptance tracking
- Post deployment validation and coverage reporting
- Recurring managed patch cycles and executive reporting
A strong fit for
Organizations with a clear reason to act.
Teams carrying unresolved vulnerability scan findings
Businesses preparing for customer, insurance, or compliance reviews
Internal IT teams and MSPs that need security focused patch support
Engagement model
Structured for control and momentum.
Scope, communication, and handoff are designed to work with enterprise stakeholders without creating unnecessary process.
Establish
Confirm asset coverage, tooling, ownership, business constraints, remediation priorities, maintenance windows, and the target operating model.
Deploy
Configure approved tools and deployment rings, test updates, coordinate changes, deploy patches, and preserve a clear rollback path.
Operate
Run the agreed patch cycle, prioritize urgent exposure, verify results, track exceptions, and report measurable progress.
Questions
What buyers usually ask.
The scoping call covers environment specific questions, dependencies, timing, and deliverables.
Does this replace our IT team or MSP?
No. This is a security focused service, not general help desk or managed IT support. We can work alongside your IT team or MSP with clear responsibilities for approval, deployment, troubleshooting, validation, and reporting.
Can Encompass actually deploy the patches?
Yes, when the agreed scope provides authorized access, approved tooling, maintenance windows, and change authority. When another provider owns deployment, we can prioritize, coordinate, validate, and report the remediation work.
Which systems can be included?
A typical scope can include Windows endpoints, Windows servers, Microsoft Intune, Windows Autopatch, Azure Update Manager, third party applications, and supported cloud workloads. Exact platforms and responsibilities are confirmed during scoping.
