Patch management services typically cost $9-18 per workstation and $35-75 per server monthly. Basic OS patching starts at $9/workstation and $35/server, while comprehensive packages with third-party apps, vulnerability integration, and expedited criticals range from $16-18/workstation and $65-75/server. Network device firmware oversight adds $5 per device. ### What's included in managed patch management services? Managed patch management includes automated OS updates, defined maintenance windows, ring-based deployments, compliance reporting, and rollback capabilities. Advanced plans add third-party application updates, vulnerability scanner integration, expedited critical patches, exception management with compensating controls, and vendor coordination for complex systems. ### How does vulnerability-driven patch management work? We integrate directly with your vulnerability scanner (Arctic Wolf, CrowdStrike, etc.) via API. When vulnerabilities are detected, they're automatically prioritized and queued for remediation based on severity and exploitability. Critical items get expedited patching within hours, while lower-risk items follow regular maintenance windows. ### What is ring-based patch deployment? Ring-based deployment tests patches on a small pilot group first, monitors for issues, then expands to early adopters, and finally deploys broadly. This approach catches problems early before they affect your entire organization. Typical rings include IT staff (pilot), non-critical systems (early), and production systems (broad). ### Can you handle patches for specialized applications? Yes, our Plus and Premium plans include third-party application patching for common business software like Adobe, Chrome, Java, Zoom, and Microsoft 365 apps. For specialized industry applications (PMS, EMR, POS systems), our Premium plan includes vendor coordination to ensure patches align with their support requirements. ### How do you handle systems that can't be patched immediately? We maintain an exception register documenting systems that can't be patched, including the reason, owner, target remediation date, and compensating controls (like network isolation or enhanced monitoring). Premium plans include monthly reviews to burn down exceptions and reduce risk systematically. ### What about emergency patches and zero-day vulnerabilities? Plus and Premium plans include expedited out-of-band patching for critical vulnerabilities. When zero-days or emergency patches are released, we deploy them within 4-24 hours based on severity, without requiring additional approvals or SOWs. Basic plans handle these during regular maintenance windows. ### Do you provide compliance reporting? All plans include monthly compliance dashboards showing patch levels, deployment success rates, and outstanding vulnerabilities. Premium plans add detailed reporting for regulatory compliance (HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2) with evidence collection for audits and risk assessments. ## Ready to Eliminate Patch Management Headaches?
