Unpatched Systems = Critical Vulnerabilities

Research demonstrates that 60% of successful data breaches exploit known vulnerabilities for which patches already exist. The challenge isn't awareness—it's execution. Most IT teams lack the bandwidth to patch every system within the required timeframe, creating security gaps that cybercriminals actively exploit.

Internal Teams Overwhelmed

Traditional patch management consumes 30-40% of IT administrator time whilst achieving only 60-70% compliance rates. Your team understands the importance of patching, but manual processes, approval bottlenecks, and resource constraints prevent comprehensive coverage. The result? Known vulnerabilities remain unaddressed, exposing your organisation to preventable breaches.

Compliance Risks & Costly Downtime

Regulatory frameworks including GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and Cyber Essentials mandate timely patching—typically within 30 days for critical vulnerabilities. Non-compliance results in significant fines, failed audits, and reputational damage. Delayed patching leads to security incidents that disrupt business operations, damage customer trust, and create costly remediation efforts.

What are Camwood's Managed Patch Management Services?

See How It Works

Comprehensive, expert-led patch programmes that eliminate security risks, reduce IT workload, and ensure compliance through proven methodologies and advanced automation powered by our FUSION Framework. Our Service Includes:

Comprehensive vulnerability assessment
Continuous monitoring of threat intelligence feeds from vendors, CERT organisations, and cybersecurity research communities. We immediately assess vulnerability relevance to your specific environment using CVSS scoring and business context.
Expert patch testing and validation
Rigorous validation in isolated test environments mirroring your production configuration. We identify compatibility issues before deployment, ensuring patches don't disrupt business-critical applications.
Automated patch deployment
Intelligent automation with phased rollout strategies. Critical patches deploy to high-risk systems first, with automatic rollback capabilities if issues emerge. Deployment schedules align with your business operations and maintenance windows.
Compliance documentation and reporting
Audit-ready documentation tracking patch assessment, approval, deployment, and verification. Comprehensive reporting demonstrates compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, SOC 2, and Cyber Essentials requirements.
