PatchGuard monitors Windows Update status across your fleet. See days since last update, missing KBs, and compliance status for every endpoint — no WSUS or SCCM required.
Monitor, enforce, and report on Windows Update status without the complexity of WSUS or SCCM.
See every machine's patch status at a glance. Color-coded by compliance: green for up-to-date, yellow for warning, red for critical.
Set your threshold — 7 days, 14 days, 30 days. Any machine that falls behind gets flagged automatically. Email alerts for admins.
See which KBs are installed on each machine, when they were applied, and what type (security, cumulative, feature). Drill into any endpoint.
Know how many updates are waiting to install on each machine. Prioritize machines with the most outstanding patches.
Monitor Windows versions and OS build numbers across your fleet. Identify machines running outdated builds at a glance.
Works with Windows Update directly. No WSUS server, no SCCM, no GPOs to configure. Install the agent and start monitoring in minutes.
One lightweight Windows service. Takes 30 seconds to deploy. Works alongside your existing tools.
The agent queries Get-HotFix and Windows Update, then reports installed patches, pending updates, and OS build info.
Define your compliance threshold (e.g., 14 days). Machines that fall behind are flagged and admins get notified.
Monitor patch compliance across all your clients from one dashboard. Per-company views, email alerts when machines fall behind, and compliance reports for client reviews.
SOC 2, HIPAA, and cyber insurance all require patch management evidence. PatchGuard gives you the data you need without deploying WSUS or SCCM.
No Active Directory? No problem. PatchGuard works on standalone machines. Know which workstations are months behind on updates before they become a liability.
No contracts, no minimums. Cancel anytime.

PatchGuard is a monitoring and compliance tool, not a patch deployment tool. It tells you which machines are behind on updates — it doesn't push updates. It replaces the reporting side of WSUS without the server infrastructure.
PatchGuard works on Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2016 and later. The agent runs as a lightweight Windows service.
The agent reports patch status on every check-in (configurable, default every 5 minutes). You always have near-real-time visibility.
Yes. Each GuardSuite tool works independently. You can use PatchGuard on its own for $2/device/month, or bundle it with other tools for a discount.
No. PatchGuard works on standalone and domain-joined machines. No GPOs, no domain controller required.
