Patch Shortlist: per-client triage of record Patch Tuesdays for small MSPs

The core ranking is already done. Ranking Microsoft patches by KEV, then EPSS, then CVSS is now the standard method, and Senserva gives it away free with an API. ConnectSecure (Patch 360), NinjaOne and N-able already apply it per client inside the RMM and vulnerability tools MSPs use. Those tools also see each client's real software through their agents, so a standalone app that relies on uploaded inventory starts out behind on data quality and convenience. There may still be room in two places. The first is the smallest MSPs, roughly 10 to 50 clients, whose RMM has no vulnerability module or whose ranking is shallow: no EPSS, or no plain-English explanation of why a patch matters for this particular client. A cheap tool that connects to the RMM to pull inventory automatically, instead of asking for uploads, could fit there. The second is the client-ready digest, which looks like the less contested idea. I found a Gorelo feature request asking for MSP-branded monthly patch reports for compliance and insurance, and RMM vendors push MSPs to explain patches to clients, but I didn't find a product that writes a branded, plain-English monthly explanation per client. Even so, it's an easy feature for an RMM to add, so a newcomer would probably need to sell it as an add-on that works across several RMMs, or pair it with insurance and compliance evidence, rather than rely on the ranking engine to stand out.

• ConnectSecure Patch 360

  Launched June 2026 for MSPs. It ranks patches by CISA KEV, critical severity and high EPSS across many client environments, and adds pilot-first testing and rollback. ConnectSecure has had EPSS in its MSP vulnerability platform since 2023, and its product page says it offers multi-tenant views. This is the closest direct match.

• NinjaOne Vulnerability Management

  Shows KEV status next to CVSS and gives MSPs a single action queue across all clients, listing affected organizations and available fixes. Its Patch Intelligence AI holds back unstable patches. I found no confirmation that it uses EPSS. Because it is an RMM, it already has live per-client software inventory.

• N-able

  An RMM vendor whose marketing says its platform automatically combines EPSS, KEV and asset inventory into remediation queues across multiple tenants. It also publishes MSP-focused Patch Tuesday guidance on talking to clients.

• Senserva Patch Tracker and free feeds

  A free tracker that ranks Microsoft KBs and CVEs on a 0 to 100 score built from KEV, ransomware use, EPSS, CVSS and recency, using data from MSRC, NVD, VulnCheck and others. It offers free JSON and RSS feeds with no API key, which means the global-ranking half of the idea already exists for free. The score is the same for everyone and is not matched to a client's inventory.

• ManageEngine Endpoint Central MSP

  Multi-tenant MSP patch management with its own Patch Tuesday handling and scheduling.

• Rapid7 InsightVM, Tenable and Qualys Patch Tuesday dashboards

  Enterprise vulnerability scanners with Patch Tuesday dashboards that show monthly Microsoft patches against your own assets. Rapid7 has a template too (https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2021/05/11/patch-tuesday-dashboard-template-release/). They are priced and built for enterprises rather than small MSPs.

• CVE Prioritizer (open source)

  A free open-source tool that sorts CVEs by CVSS, EPSS and KEV. It has no MSP or per-client features, but it shows the core ranking logic is easy to copy.

• Level.io

  An RMM aimed at MSPs that publishes monthly Patch Tuesday guidance and promotes compliance reporting as a way to show clients the work. This overlaps with the client digest idea.
