Automated patch management in Saudi Arabia, without the manual work
Most attacks still use known weaknesses that already have a fix. The problem is not the fix, it is getting it onto every laptop, desktop and server on time. Manual updates get skipped, users postpone restarts, and branch offices and remote staff are easily forgotten.
Our patch management platform runs from the cloud. A small agent on each device connects securely over the internet, so laptops are patched in the office, at home or on a site visit. There is no on-site server to buy, power or maintain. You set the rules once, and updates are approved, scheduled and installed automatically.
Third-party applications matter as much as Windows. Browsers, PDF readers, archive tools, runtimes and meeting apps are common entry points, and they are covered from the same console.
- Windows 10, Windows 11 and Windows Server updates
- macOS updates for company Macs
- Updates for common third-party applications
- Maintenance windows and controlled restarts
- Approval rules: test group first, then everyone
Vulnerability visibility and compliance reports in one place
You cannot fix what you cannot see. The platform shows every device, its operating system, installed software, missing updates and known vulnerabilities, ranked by severity. Your IT manager can see in one screen which machines are exposed and how long each issue has been open.
Ready-made reports show patch status, update history and open vulnerabilities by device, site or department. They give management a clear picture and give auditors the evidence they ask for, without spreadsheets built by hand the night before the audit.
The same view also shows which PCs still run Windows 10. Support ended on 14 October 2025, so those machines no longer receive security updates. We help you list them, check which can be upgraded to Windows 11, and plan the replacement of the rest.
You can choose how much of the work you hand over. As a managed service, Waves engineers watch the console, approve updates, follow up on failed installs and send you the monthly reports. As a licence, your in-house IT team runs the platform day to day, and we help with setup, policies and any difficult cases. Many companies start with the managed service and move to a licence once their team is comfortable.
How Waves sets up patch management
Free assessment
We review your devices, current update process, branch offices and any audit requirement such as Aramco CCC or NCA ECC.
Deploy the agent
The agent is rolled out to PCs, Macs and servers, remotely where possible, with no on-site server needed.
Set policies
We agree update rules, test groups, maintenance windows and restart behaviour that suit your working hours.
Close the backlog
Missing updates and critical vulnerabilities are fixed first, then devices move to the normal automatic schedule.
Report
You receive patch status and vulnerability reports for management and auditors, monthly or on demand.
Manage or hand over
Waves runs it as a managed service, or your in-house IT team runs it on its own licence with our support.
What our patch management covers
Operating system patching
Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server and macOS updates, approved and installed automatically.
Third-party applications
Common business applications kept current from the same console, closing gaps attackers use most.
Vulnerability visibility
Open vulnerabilities listed per device and ranked by severity, so the riskiest issues are fixed first.
Remote and branch devices
Laptops and branch PCs patched over the internet, wherever they are, with no VPN or local server.
Compliance reports
Patch status, update history and open issues in reports ready for management and auditors.
Managed service or licence
Let Waves run patching for you, or license the platform for your own IT team.
SACS-210 patch management and NCA ECC requirements
Aramco’s SACS-210 Third Party Cybersecurity Standard (February 2026) replaced SACS-002 for the Cybersecurity Compliance Certificate (CCC). It expects suppliers to run internal vulnerability scans every month, fix critical issues immediately and fix high issues within 7 days on internet-facing systems. Meeting those deadlines by hand is hard. SACS-210 patch management with automated updates and clear reports makes it routine.
The NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC) apply to government bodies, critical sectors and their suppliers, and they include vulnerability management and patch management. The same platform and reports support both.
Waves has helped 150+ companies pass Aramco CCC, typically in 3 to 5 weeks. Patch management is one part of that work, alongside vulnerability assessment, MFA, email security, backup and awareness training.
- Monthly patch and vulnerability status reports
- Evidence that critical and high issues were fixed on time
- Device and software inventory for auditors
- List of unsupported systems such as Windows 10
Frequently asked questions
Do we need a server on our premises?
No. The platform runs from the cloud. Each device has a small agent that connects securely over the internet, so there is nothing to install or maintain on site.
Does it patch macOS and third-party applications?
Yes. Windows PCs and servers, company Macs and common third-party applications are all managed from one console, with the same rules and reports.
Will updates interrupt our users?
Updates are installed in maintenance windows you choose, and restarts can be scheduled or postponed within limits. A small test group receives updates first so problems are caught early.
Does patch management help with Aramco SACS-210?
Yes. SACS-210 expects monthly internal vulnerability scans, critical issues fixed immediately and high issues fixed within 7 days on internet-facing systems. Automated patching and reports help you meet those deadlines and show the evidence. It is one part of CCC, and we can help with the other controls too.
Is it relevant to the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls?
Yes. The ECC include vulnerability management and patch management for government bodies, critical sectors and their suppliers. The same patch status and vulnerability reports support an ECC review.
What about PCs still on Windows 10?
Windows 10 support ended on 14 October 2025, so those PCs no longer get security updates. The platform lists them, and we can check which can upgrade to Windows 11 and plan replacement and secure data erasure for the rest.
Can our own IT team run it?
Yes. You can take it as a managed service where Waves handles patching and reporting, or as a licence your in-house IT team runs, with our help for setup and support.
