Vulnerability & Patch Management
Find, prioritise and remediate vulnerabilities across supported devices, operating systems and common business applications.
Patching Is a Risk Management Process, Not Only an Update Schedule
Missing updates, unsupported applications and configuration weaknesses create practical paths for attackers. ITFR combines vulnerability visibility, business context and controlled remediation so the most important exposure is addressed first.
✓Asset and exposure visibility
Identify supported devices, systems, applications and relevant external exposure.
✓Vulnerability assessment
Detect missing updates, known weaknesses and supported configuration issues.
✓Risk-based prioritisation
Consider exploitability, exposure, business criticality and available mitigations.
✓Operating system patching
Plan and deploy supported Windows and operating system security updates.
✓Third-party application patching
Maintain supported common applications and coordinate exceptions for specialist software.
✓Remediation reporting
Track findings, actions, exceptions, ownership and residual risk over time.
The result: fewer exploitable weaknesses, better patch coverage and clearer evidence of how technical risk is being reduced.

BEST FOR
Businesses that need repeatable vulnerability reduction and evidence rather than occasional scanning alone.
Use the arrows or swipe sideways to view every plan.
Different Assets Need Different Remediation Windows
Internet-facing systems, administrators and high-value services may require faster action than low-impact workstations or specialist systems.
ITFR can combine automated patching, engineering remediation and documented exceptions according to operational risk.
You patch quickly where exposure is highest without treating every system identically.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Your vulnerability and patch management questions, answered
Can you help with an urgent vulnerability?
ITFR can identify affected assets and coordinate supported remediation within the agreed scope. Contact the team with the affected systems and any available vendor information.
Does the service cover third-party applications?
Application coverage is reviewed and agreed explicitly, including common software and any specialist applications. Supported products, exclusions and vendor dependencies should be documented.
How are updates scheduled around business operations?
The process can include prioritisation, testing, change windows, deployment and follow-up checks. The approach depends on exposure, system criticality and operational constraints.
What happens with unsupported legacy systems?
Document the exposure, constraints and owner. ITFR can help assess compensating measures and replacement priorities rather than assuming an unavailable patch will resolve the risk.
