Flagship managed service
Managed Vulnerability & Patch Management
Managed patch management helps keep Windows devices and business applications secure, monitored and updated with minimal disruption.
Many cyber attacks target outdated applications rather than Windows itself. Web browsers, PDF readers, collaboration tools, remote access software, compression utilities, developer tools and runtime components all need regular third-party application patching.
The outcome is simpler: fewer known vulnerabilities, clearer reporting and a stronger security posture for the business.

FAQ
Common questions about managed patching and small business IT support.
Answers for small businesses considering managed patch management, third-party application patching, Microsoft 365 support, endpoint management or broader IT consultancy.
What is managed patch management?
Managed patch management is a structured service for keeping Windows devices and business applications updated. It includes monitoring, automated deployment, maintenance windows, failed update follow-up, vulnerability remediation and reporting.
Why are third-party application updates important?
Many cyber attacks target outdated applications rather than Windows itself. Web browsers, PDF readers, collaboration tools, remote access software, compression utilities, developer tools and runtime components all need regular security updates.
Can you support businesses without an internal IT team?
Yes. Home IT Help supports small businesses without a dedicated IT security engineer, and can also work alongside an existing IT provider where stronger vulnerability management or Microsoft environment support is needed.
Do you support Microsoft 365?
Yes. Business support can include Microsoft 365 administration, Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams, Entra ID, MFA and Conditional Access guidance.
Can you manage Windows Server updates?
Windows Server patch management may be available following assessment. Server environments vary, so scope, backup position, maintenance windows and business impact should be reviewed before updates are managed.
Do you support macOS?
macOS environments can be discussed where appropriate. The best approach depends on the number of devices, management tools already in place and the level of support required.
How much does managed patch management cost?
Pricing depends on the number of devices, the applications in use, the reporting required and whether the service is one-off or ongoing. The best next step is to book a business IT consultation so the scope can be agreed before any work starts.
