As cyber threats grow, timely patch management is vital. Action1, certified with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, provides top-tier security, making it the best choice for organisations that seeks flexibility and a cost effective solution. Here is why our customers prefer using Action1.
Certified Excellence: ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II
One of the standout features of Action1 is its commitment to maintaining the highest standards of information security management, as evidenced by its ISO 27001 certification. This international standard specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS). By adhering to these stringent requirements, Action1 ensures that your data is handled with the utmost care and security.
Moreover, Action1 has achieved SOC 2 Type II certification, which focuses on the non-financial reporting controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of a system. This certification involves rigorous auditing over an extended period, demonstrating Action1’s consistent commitment to operational excellence and trustworthiness.
Rigorous Testing for Unmatched Security
Before any patch is released to clients, Action1 subjects it to a comprehensive and rigorous testing process. This multi-layered approach includes:
Compatibility Testing
Ensuring that patches are compatible with various system configurations to prevent disruptions.
Vulnerability Assessment
Identifying and mitigating potential security risks associated with new patches.
Performance Evaluation
Verifying that the patch does not adversely affect system performance.
Compliance Checks
Making sure that the patch aligns with industry regulations and standards.
This meticulous testing protocol minimizes the risk of deploying faulty or harmful patches, safeguarding your organization’s IT environment.
Key Benefits of Action1

Deployment Strategy
Deploying the Action1 agent is an essential step in ensuring that your IT security patch management is comprehensive and automated across all endpoints in your network. Below are two key deployment strategies: manual installation and deployment using Group Policy Objects (GPO) in Windows environments. Both methods ensure that the Action1 agent is installed efficiently across multiple devices.
Manual Deployment
The manual method is suitable for smaller environments or when installing the agent on individual machines. This method provides more control over the installation process and is useful for testing before a mass deployment.
Pros:
- Suitable for individual installations or small-scale deployments.
- Direct control over installation.
Cons:
- Time-consuming for larger networks.
- Requires manual intervention on each endpoint.
Deployment Using Group Policy Objects (GPO)
For larger networks, deploying the Action1 agent using Group Policy Objects (GPO) is the most efficient approach. This method allows centralized deployment to multiple computers in a domain environment, streamlining the process and ensuring consistency across endpoints.
Prerequisites:
- Active Directory (AD) environment.
- Access to Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).
- Agent installer package in MSI format.
Pros:
- Scalable and efficient for large environments.
- Centralized control and management through AD.
- Automates the deployment across multiple endpoints.
Cons:
- Requires Active Directory and GPO management experience.
- May take time to propagate across large networks.
