Who We're For

For the people big
IT forgets

The big managed-service companies chase large enterprise contracts. If you're a household, running a business from the kitchen table, or a small team, you're often treated as too small to bother with — or priced out entirely. Patching Guy exists for exactly those people: the same serious, enterprise-grade protection, made simple and affordable for you.

Home Users

The family laptops and PCs everyone relies on — kept secure and up to date without you lifting a finger or learning a thing.

Home Businesses

Running things from home? Stay protected and look professional to your clients — without needing an IT department behind you.

Small Businesses

A handful of staff and no time for patching? We handle it quietly in the background and prove you're compliant every month.

of small businesses say a single serious cyberattack could put them out of business for good. Lost data, days of downtime, ransom demands and broken customer trust add up fast — and most of it traces back to software that simply wasn't kept up to date. That's the gap Patching Guy closes.
