Case Study: Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust achieves seamless, automated third-party patching with Heimdal Security

Prevention over Treatment GMMH Perfects Their Patching Routine with Heimdal

Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, one of England’s largest specialist mental health providers, faced persistent challenges keeping a diverse software estate up to date—especially third‑party applications—after finding their on‑premise patching tool inadequate and struggling during the shift to widespread remote work. To address this, GMMH adopted Heimdal Security’s Heimdal Patch & Asset Management to gain a cloud‑based, flexible patching solution.

Heimdal Security implemented Heimdal Patch & Asset Management to deliver automated, 24x7x365 third‑party and Microsoft patching with no manual interventions, reboots, or end‑user disruption. The onboarding was quick and largely unnoticed, and during the first review a large number of patches had already been applied without conflicts—eliminating manual patching, saving significant time and effort, and removing the worry of missed critical patches.
