What is Vulnerability & Patch Management?

Vulnerability Management is the continuous discipline of discovering security weaknesses across your IT estate, prioritising them by exploitability and business impact, and remediating them through patching or compensating controls. Patch Management closes the loop by deploying OS and third-party application updates safely and at scale.

Codesecure delivers both as a managed solution covering authenticated and unauthenticated scanning, CVE prioritisation using CVSS, EPSS and threat intelligence, and automated patch deployment for Windows, Linux and 300+ third-party applications. Named engineers handle scoping, deployment, ongoing scan cycles and remediation playbooks.

Why It Matters

Most breaches exploit known, unpatched vulnerabilities. The Verizon DBIR shows the majority of exploited CVEs have patches available for 30 days or more before they are used in attacks. Without an operational VM programme, attackers find your gaps before you do.

VM is also a compliance baseline. ISO 27001 Annex A.8.8 mandates technical vulnerability management, PCI DSS Requirement 11.3 requires authenticated scanning, RBI Cyber Security Framework demands timely patching, and SOC 2 Common Criteria CC7 expects evidence of vulnerability identification and remediation. Auditors increasingly ask for scan logs, remediation SLAs and patch deployment reports.

What's Included

Codesecure's managed VM and patch solution covers the entire lifecycle:

Authenticated VA ScanningCredentialed scans for accurate OS, app and config vulnerability detection
External Attack Surface ScanningInternet-facing asset discovery and unauthenticated CVE detection

Implementation Methodology

Every VM engagement follows a 5-phase methodology from discovery through continuous operations:

1

Discovery & Scoping

Free 30-minute scoping call, NDA, asset estimate, scanning windows, compliance obligation review.

2

Asset Inventory & Baseline

CMDB sync, asset tagging by criticality, network mapping, baseline scan of full estate.

3

Platform Deployment & Integration

Scanner placement, credentials vaulting, patch agent rollout, ticketing and SIEM integration.

4

Remediation Workflow & Patch Pilot

Patch policy authoring, maintenance windows, pilot ring rollout, rollback testing, SLA tuning.

5

Continuous Operations

Monthly scan cycles, weekly patch cadence, monthly metrics review, quarterly tuning, annual policy review.

What You Get

Every VM engagement ships with the same operational handoff:

Asset InventoryLive asset registry with business criticality tagging
Baseline Vulnerability ReportFull-estate CVE inventory with CVSS/EPSS priority scoring
Patch Policy DocumentApproval workflow, maintenance windows, rollback procedures
Remediation PlaybooksStandard runbooks for high-risk CVE classes and exceptions
Monthly Trend ReportMean-time-to-patch, exposure trend, SLA compliance
Quarterly Tuning ReviewPolicy adjustments, scanner coverage gaps, false-positive review

Deployment Timeline

Most VM deployments reach baseline scan within 1-3 weeks based on asset count. Instant response, no delay, we start architecture review same day or next business day after scoping.

Week 1

Discovery & Inventory

Scoping call, NDA, asset estimate, scanner placement plan, baseline credential collection.

Week 2

Deploy & Baseline Scan

Scanner deployment, credential vaulting, first authenticated scan of full estate.

Week 3+

Tune & Operate

Patch pilot ring, remediation playbooks, monthly cycle handoff to managed operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from running Nessus once a year?

Annual scans only show what was exposed on one day. Continuous VM scans weekly or monthly, tracks remediation SLAs, integrates with patch deployment, prioritises CVEs using EPSS and threat intelligence, and produces audit evidence over time. It is operational programme, not a point-in-time activity.

Which scanning platform should we use?

Depends on your environment and budget. Nessus and Rapid7 InsightVM lead on accuracy and integrations. Qualys is strong for compliance-heavy environments. OpenVAS / GreenBone is open-source and cost-effective for SMBs. ManageEngine VMP suits mid-market where the same vendor also handles patching. We help you pick based on environment, team capability and budget.

Can you patch third-party apps automatically?

Yes. Patch Manager Plus, BigFix and Intune cover 300+ third-party applications including browsers, Adobe Reader, Java, Zoom, 7-Zip and others. Each rollout follows your approved maintenance window and approval policy.

How quickly can you start?

Instant response, no delay. We respond within an hour during business hours, send fixed-scope proposal in 24-48 hours under NDA, and start scanner deployment same day or next business day after sign-off.

Will scans crash production systems?

Modern authenticated scans are non-disruptive when configured correctly: rate-limited probes, exclusion lists for fragile systems, scheduled scan windows. We tune scan policies per asset class so production workloads stay healthy.

Can VM evidence satisfy ISO 27001 / PCI / RBI audits?

Yes. We produce audit-ready evidence including scan schedules, scan logs, vulnerability registers, remediation SLAs, patch deployment reports and exception trackers, mapped to ISO 27001 A.8.8, PCI DSS 6 and 11.3, RBI Cyber Security Framework, and SOC 2 CC7.

Do you handle network device and cloud workload scanning too?

Yes. Coverage includes Windows / Linux servers, endpoints, network devices (firewalls, switches, routers), virtualisation hosts, containers, and cloud workloads on AWS, Azure and GCP via authenticated scans and cloud-native APIs.
