# **Patch Management & Automation Maturity Checklist**

Assess asset coverage, risk-based prioritisation, testing, deployment automation, exceptions, rollback, reporting, and operational ownership.

Use the checklist to review whether patching is a controlled operating process across endpoints, servers, cloud workloads, network devices, applications, and dependencies.

Score maturity by platform and criticality. A strong average must not hide unsupported or unpatched critical systems.
