PatchProof

PatchProof is a web app (with optional lightweight desktop agent) for government cyber teams to continuously verify and evidence patch compliance across endpoints and servers. Instead of trusting self-reported status, it pulls authoritative signals (OS build, installed KBs, package versions, EDR telemetry) and maps them to agency policy and known exploited vulnerabilities (KEV). It generates audit-ready artifacts: time-stamped compliance snapshots, exception justifications, and remediation tickets with owner and SLA. The product is intentionally narrow: patch and vulnerability compliance evidence, not a full vulnerability scanner or CMDB replacement. An AI layer helps translate raw findings into plain-language POA&M entries, suggests likely root causes (e.g., maintenance window conflicts, failed update rings), and drafts communications for system owners. Reality check: success requires integrations, careful data normalization, and strong security posture; without those, it becomes yet another dashboard nobody trusts.
