Proactive Defence. Measurable Risk Reduction.
At Secure Chain Technology Group, we go beyond basic patching with our Vulnerability Management and Remediation Services. Through a structured and continuous process, we actively identify, assess, prioritise, and remediate security weaknesses across your entire IT estate—well before they can be exploited.
Delivered via our dedicated Vulnerability Operations Centre (VOC), this service provides complete visibility into your cyber risk posture. Our expert team handles remediation and provides reports that align with compliance standards, helping keep your organisation secure and ready for audits.
How It Differs from Patch Management
| Feature | Vulnerability Management | Patch Management |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Broad: Includes OS, applications, misconfigurations, and third-party software | Narrow: Focused on applying vendor patches |
| Process | Continuous scanning, risk analysis, remediation, validation | Scheduled patch deployment and basic remediation |
| Tools | Uses scanning engines, threat intelligence, and risk scoring | Uses patch deployment tools and vendor updates |
| Outcome | Reduces overall attack surface and supports compliance | Fixes known vulnerabilities and improves system stability |
| Frequency | Ongoing with weekly/monthly/ad-hoc reporting | monthly |
Both services are essential—but vulnerability management is the strategic layer that ensures patching is prioritised and effective.
