Key Features of Action1
Enterprise-Grade Security & Compliance
Action1 enforces 2FA, provides role-based access controls, and secures all connections with TLS 1.2 and AES-256 encryption. The platform holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001, TX-RAMP, and CSA certifications and supports compliance with GDPR, NIST, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GLBA/FFIEC requirements.
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Patch Distribution
Patches and updates are downloaded only once and distributed across your endpoints. This approach minimizes external bandwidth usage and accelerates large software package deployments, all without requiring local appliances or cache servers.
Offline / Disconnected Endpoint Support
Automatically patch offline endpoints when they reconnect, ensuring no device misses critical updates or continues running outdated software. Deploy patches instantly or on schedule to avoid downtime while keeping every system secure and compliant.
Update Rings & Pilot Groups
Strengthen your overall security posture through staged, risk-free autonomous patch rollouts. Updates advance from inner to outer rings only if they meet predefined success metrics, while unstable ones are stopped automatically. As a result, faulty patches never reach your mission-critical systems.
Real-Time Patch Compliance & Reporting
Access instant, audit-ready reports using 100+ customizable templates covering patch status, vulnerabilities, and security configurations. Generate compliance documentation in just a few clicks to demonstrate adherence to NIST, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, and other regulatory standards.
Asset Inventory & Software Discovery
Once Action1’s lightweight agent is installed on a system, it immediately connects to the cloud platform to report patch status, compliance insights, and a full asset inventory. This equips you with 24/7/365 visibility, guaranteeing no endpoint is left vulnerable or out of compliance.

Case Studies
What Our Customers Say
A lot of value from Action1 comes from the peace of mind, knowing that your patches are installed, that you are protected from known vulnerabilities which attackers are likely to target with ransomware and other malware.
Action1 saves me 10–15 minutes per machine on software deployment. I can access every device remotely, so I don’t have to literally travel to every location and touch every machine.
Action1 helped us save about 125 hours per month by automating patch management. That’s a huge enabler to our business; as an MSP, the more you automate, the more money you save, and the more savings you can pass on to your customers.
Answers to Your Top Questions
From setup and security to integrations and pricing, here are the answers IT teams look for before choosing Action1.
How does Action1 ensure patching does not disrupt continuous Oil & Gas operations or safety-critical systems?
Action1 keeps your systems up-to-date with minimal operational disruptions by using “update rings” to autonomously deploy missing patches in controlled, staged phases, starting with a group of test systems before progressing to your critical endpoints.
To avoid unexpected downtime, you can schedule deployments during planned maintenance windows or off-peak hours, apply different filters, and automate key metrics evaluation, such as success rates and deployment counts. Updates that pass the criteria in the inner rings automatically move forward to the outer rings, while problematic ones are stopped, which successfully reduces the risk of operational disruptions.
What’s more, the software offers you complete reboot control options, which let you decide whether systems should or shouldn’t restart automatically after update deployment, plus the function to show messages and allow logged-in users time to save their work. This approach ensures that your systems are secure and compliant with minimal downtime.
Can Action1 manage endpoints located on offshore rigs, remote terminals, or isolated field networks with limited connectivity?
Yes, Action1 can manage endpoints on offshore rigs, remote terminals, or isolated field networks with limited connectivity. The platform is cloud-native and manages endpoints anywhere in the world that have internet access—no VPN or additional infrastructure required. It uses a lightweight agent with secure outbound-only connections to communicate with the Action1 cloud, allowing offshore and remote systems to be managed just as easily as those in your offices.
If endpoints go offline during scheduled patch deployments, the platform automatically catches them up when they reconnect within the configured retry window. For bandwidth-constrained sites, Action1’s peer-to-peer patch distribution technology minimizes external traffic by downloading updates once to a single endpoint and distributing them locally across the network. You get consistent, reliable management across every location.
Can we schedule patches during maintenance windows or planned outages across multiple production sites?
Yes, Action1 allows you to schedule patch deployments during maintenance windows or planned outages across multiple production sites. You can set different schedules for each location, for example when offshore platforms undergo crew changes, refineries perform turnarounds, or terminals operate during off-peak hours.
Along with flexible scheduling, you also have granular approval controls to approve, hold, or decline updates for specific sites, organizations, or departments. This lets you balance security requirements with operational stability, minimizing production disruptions and reducing revenue impact.
How does Action1 minimize bandwidth usage across satellite and low-connectivity sites?
Action1 minimizes bandwidth usage with peer-to-peer (P2P) patch distribution technology, which is critical for satellite-connected offshore platforms, remote terminals, and field sites with limited connectivity. With P2P distribution, patches and updates are downloaded once to a single endpoint and then shared across the local network, eliminating the need for each system to pull updates separately from Action1’s secure software repository.
This approach significantly reduces external bandwidth consumption and accelerates large update deployments. The platform is fully cloud-native, requiring no VPN or additional infrastructure. It also automatically patches offline systems once they reconnect. Together, these capabilities ensure all your systems remain secure, compliant, and up to date—even when connectivity is intermittent or bandwidth is severely constrained.
What certifications or compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, TX-RAMP) does Action1 meet to ensure trustworthiness?
Action1 is certified by independent auditors for SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 as a cloud service provider. The platform was the first patch management vendor to achieve both certifications. Action1 is also certified for TX-RAMP, meeting the strict regulatory requirements for Texas state agencies.
Additionally, it follows industry best practices for data security, including PCI DSS, SOX, HIPAA, GDPR, NIST, CIS CSC, ACSC, and GLBA/FFIEC frameworks. Action1 is built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), which is SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and FedRAMP compliant. Finally, all endpoint communications use 2048-bit RSA encryption, and the platform maintains continuous security monitoring with zero non-compliances found in recent audits.
