Patch management basics: a 30‑day routine

The goal isn’t “zero vulnerabilities”—it’s predictable risk reduction.

Weekly

• Review endpoint update compliance
• Triage “critical” advisories

Monthly

• Deploy updates in rings: IT → pilot → all
• Track failures (disk space, reboot loops, app conflicts)

Quarterly

• Review exceptions and retire old hardware
• Validate rollback procedure

Small teams benefit from consistency more than complexity.
