What Patchly Does
Patchly is a security analytics platform that transforms raw vulnerability data from your Microsoft environment into prioritized, actionable remediation plans.
The Problem
Organizations using Microsoft Defender and Entra ID face thousands of vulnerability findings across hundreds of devices. Without prioritization, security teams waste time on low-risk issues while critical exposures go unpatched.
How Patchly Helps
1. Automatic Data Collection
Patchly connects to your Microsoft environment via read-only API access and syncs data nightly. No agents to install, no network changes required.
2. Intelligence Enrichment
Every vulnerability finding is enriched with:
| Source | What It Adds |
|---|---|
| NVD (NIST) | Detailed CVE descriptions, CVSS severity scores |
| EPSS (FIRST) | Exploit probability — likelihood of exploitation in the next 30 days |
| KEV (CISA) | Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog — confirmed active exploitation |
3. Business Context Scoring
Patchly scores every device and user based on business criticality:
- Device criticality: Based on the users who rely on it, what roles those users hold, and what software is installed
- User criticality: Based on admin roles, group membership, and access patterns
- Composite risk: Combines vulnerability severity, exploit probability, and business impact
4. Prioritized Results
The Patchly dashboard presents findings sorted by actual risk, not just CVSS score. You can:
- See which vulnerabilities pose the most real-world risk
- Identify which devices to patch first
- Ask the AI assistant natural language questions about your security posture
- Export findings for reporting
