Patch Compliance Reporter

Patch management data is often buried in messy CSV exports from Intune, SCCM, or Qualys, making it hard to see actual risk levels. This skill parses raw patch data to deliver clear compliance KPIs, SLA tracking, and prioritized remediation lists.

What it does

• SLA tracking calculates compliance based on patch severity and custom timeframes (e.g., 14 days for critical).
• Remediation prioritization identifies the most widely missing updates to maximize impact with minimal effort.
• Legacy OS detection flags end-of-life operating systems like Windows Server 2012 or CentOS 7.
• Reporting health identifies stale assets that haven't checked in, reducing visibility gaps.
• Trend analysis compares current exports against historical data to show security posture movement.

How it works

1. Import data by providing CSV exports from tools like WSUS, Jamf, Ivanti, or Automox.
2. Define SLAs by setting day-based limits for critical, important, and moderate patches.
3. Generate reports to receive a structured operations summary and a CSV remediation list.

Frameworks & tools

The skill is built for cybersecurity and IT operations teams using patch management platforms including Microsoft Intune, SCCM, Qualys, Tenable, and Linux package managers.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Generic prompts often struggle to correctly calculate aging across disparate date formats or ignore the "fix once, clear many" logic essential for efficient patching. This skill handles complex column aliasing and SLA logic specifically for patch compliance.

Use cases

• Generating monthly patch compliance reports for leadership or audit requirements.
• Planning a patching sprint by identifying high-impact updates across the estate.
• Monitoring end-of-life OS migration progress across diverse environments.

Known limitations

Requires CSV exports with basic columns like device name and update status. It does not directly connect to cloud APIs; it processes exported data files.
