Endpoint Security & Patch Management with Microsoft Intune

Automate the patching of security vulnerabilities, centrally protect endpoints, and demonstrate compliance in an audit-proof manner.

Patch Management that significantly reduces the burden on your Endpoint Security

Any unpatched application can become an open door for attacks. Especially in hybrid work environments, with BYOD and a growing number of endpoints, manual patching processes quickly become difficult to manage. Security vulnerabilities remain unpatched for longer, compliance verification becomes more time-consuming, and valuable IT resources are diverted from other areas.

We integrate Microsoft Intune with automated third-party patching powered by Patch My PC. This ensures that security updates are reliably distributed, rollouts are carefully managed, and vulnerabilities are continuously assessed. Your IT team maintains a clear overview at all times, can provide audit-proof evidence of compliance, and frees up time for strategic tasks.

Optimize Endpoint Security

Microsoft Solutions Partner Zertifizierung, PATCH MY PC Batch, ISO 27001 Zertifizierung

Fewer vulnerabilities, more control over your devices

Close security gaps more quickly

Automated patch management for Windows, macOS, and over 3,500 third-party applications drastically reduces your time to patch. Phased rollout waves (Ring 0 through Ring 3) ensure that updates are tested and deployed to all endpoints in a controlled manner before attackers can exploit vulnerabilities.

Take workload off your IT team

Automated patching processes replace manual scripts, one-off solutions, and recurring routine tasks. Your IT team saves time, reduces operational overhead, and can focus more on strategic security issues.

Prove compliance at any time

Audit-compliant reports and governance dashboards provide transparency into your patch status. This allows you to comprehensively document security baselines, meet requirements such as NIS2 in a traceable manner, and reduce the effort involved in audits.

How We Strengthen Your Endpoint Security

Three steps to secure endpoints, tailored to your specific situation

Patch Management: Keeping Your Software Up-to-Date and Secure

Microsoft Intune alone does not offer native third-party patching. Patch My PC closes exactly this gap. With Patch My PC, we automate patching for Windows, macOS, Linux, and over 3,500 applications, and orchestrate distribution in staggered rollout waves (Ring 0 through Ring 3). In addition, novaCapta Auto Update automatically keeps your app packages up to date. This allows you to continuously close security gaps without your IT team having to manually trigger every update.

Microsoft Intune: Configuring Security and Compliance in a Targeted Manner

Many companies already use Microsoft Intune but do not take full advantage of its security features. We configure security baselines, conditional access, and app protection policies so that your devices are granted access to corporate resources only if they meet defined security standards. For new environments, we handle the entire Intune setup, including architecture, enrollment strategies, and Autopilot. For existing environments, we optimize your configuration in a targeted manner.

Vulnerability Management: Identifying weak spots before they are exploited

Patching alone isn’t enough. We continuously monitor your endpoints for compliance violations and new vulnerabilities, adapt policies to changing threat landscapes, and document your security status in an audit-proof manner. In the event of incidents, we respond according to defined SLAs. This allows you to demonstrably meet regulatory requirements such as NIS2 and maintain transparency regarding the security status of your endpoints at all times. We manage the entire patch lifecycle: from inventory assessment to rollout orchestration to ongoing governance reporting.

How well are your devices really protected?

Whether you want to automate your patch management, optimize your Intune configuration for security, or have your NIS2 compliance status assessed: We’ll analyze your endpoint landscape and develop a strategy tailored to your environment.

Secure Endpoints in Action

Gustav Hensel: Secure Mobile Devices with Intune

The industry specialist, with nearly 1,000 employees in 13 countries, has migrated its mobile device management from Airwatch to Microsoft Intune. 185 iOS and Android devices were configured, conditional access and app protection policies were implemented, and zero-touch deployment was introduced. After the joint setup, the internal IT team was able to carry out the rollout on its own.

Three Steps to Secure Endpoints

1. Analysis and Patch Strategy

We assess your current endpoint landscape, identify security vulnerabilities, and analyze your existing device management. Together, we define rollout rings, patch priorities, and compliance requirements. You’ll receive a clear roadmap for your endpoint security.

2. Implementation and Hardening

Intune Setup, Security Baselines, Patch My PC integration, Conditional Access, App Protection Policies, and Defender for Endpoint are tailored to your environment. Phased update waves ensure controlled, tested rollouts. If needed, we can assist with the migration from existing solutions (e.g., Airwatch, on-premises SCCM).

3. Ongoing Security Operations

Continuous vulnerability management, compliance monitoring, reporting, and adaptation to new threat landscapes keep your endpoints protected at all times. Proactive monitoring detects issues before they escalate. Regular service reviews optimize your security posture.

FAQs about Endpoint Security & Patch Management

Why shouldn't we manage patches manually?

Manual patching processes are error-prone, tie up IT resources, and do not scale with the growing number of endpoints and applications. Furthermore, Microsoft Intune does not offer native third-party patching. This gap must be filled by specialized tooling partners such as Patch My PC. Unpatched software remains vulnerable for an average of over 100 days. For one of our customers with over 4,000 endpoints, the manual patching process was previously time-consuming and error-prone due to a lack of guidelines. With automated patching via Microsoft Intune and Patch My PC, security vulnerabilities in over 3,500 third-party applications are continuously addressed, distributed in staggered, controlled rollout waves, and documented in an audit-proof manner.

Do we need additional licenses for Microsoft Intune?

The core Intune features for endpoint management and security are included in the Microsoft 365 E3 and Enterprise Mobility + Security E3 licenses. For one of our customers with over 4,000 endpoints, the existing E5 license meant there were no additional costs associated with the implementation. If you’d like to use advanced features such as Defender for Endpoint, a license upgrade may be advisable. We can advise you on the optimal license configuration for your needs.

How does the onboarding of new devices work with Intune?

Using Windows Autopilot and Zero Touch Provisioning, new devices are configured directly from the cloud—including operating system setup, security policies, software, and VPN profiles. The manufacturer can ship the device directly to employees. When working from home, all they have to do is unpack, turn it on, and get to work securely. At our client Gustav Hensel, employees could choose between full service with an appointment booking and self-service with video instructions. The self-service model was so successful that new devices are now sent directly from the provider to employees.

What devices and operating systems does Microsoft Intune support?

Microsoft Intune manages Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux. This includes company-owned devices, BYOD devices, and shared devices, such as those used by frontline workers (handheld scanners, point-of-sale systems, tablets). Specific enrollment and management options are available for each device and operating system, which we tailor to your needs.

Does endpoint security help with NIS2 compliance?

The NIS2 Implementation Act has been in effect since December 2025 and expands cybersecurity obligations for many companies. Patch management and endpoint security are direct measures for meeting these requirements: automated patching of security vulnerabilities, audit-proof compliance reporting, and verifiable security baselines. With our Microsoft Cybersecurity Assessment, you can evaluate the maturity level of your overall cybersecurity strategy and identify specific actions to take. As a free starting point, we also offer the NIS2 Compliance Navigator: In 1.5 hours, we’ll familiarize you with the requirements and show you how to use your Microsoft licenses to implement them.
