No new dashboard to check

Pick your stack once. After that, ChangeSignal comes to you by email, with only what applies to it.

One digest a week by default, or daily if you prefer. In a quiet week it is one line: nothing new requires action.

Three kinds of action, each linked to its source

Every Patch Tuesday brings dozens of advisories. Most don’t apply to you.

Install what closes vulnerabilities

Dozens of CVEs roll up into a single KB number — the one WSUS & Intune deploy.

Prioritise what is actively exploited

When CISA flags a bug in the wild, the matching patch moves up.

Plan before support ends

Get notified of approaching release deadlines before they become emergencies.

Engineered for sysadmins

Questions

What does the public beta cost, and what happens after it?

Nothing, and no card is asked for. Before the beta ends we email you at least 30 days ahead. Nothing becomes chargeable unless you subscribe yourself, and your workspace stays if you don’t.

Do you cover Microsoft 365 or Windows 10?

No. On the Microsoft side we cover Windows Server, Windows 11, Exchange Server and SQL Server. Windows 10, Microsoft 365, Office, SharePoint and Exchange Online are not covered.

How do you decide whether something affects me?

You list what you run, with a version where you know it. Every change gets one of three verdicts:

  • Affected — your version is inside the published range.
  • Not affected — your version is outside it, and the source is precise enough to rule you out.
  • Product matches, version not evaluated — no version given, or no range published. We say so instead of guessing.
How is importance decided?

By fixed rules, not AI: severity, active exploitation, support deadlines and how exact the match is. A match on the product alone is never rated Critical.

Can you tell whether a machine is already patched?

No. We evaluate at release level, not per host. That would need a host inventory, which we deliberately don’t collect.

Do you patch or change anything?

No. We do not patch, deploy or change anything. You stay in control.

What does every item tell me?

What changed, whether it affects you, how important it is, why it matters and what to consider doing — with a link to the source behind it. Every action shows whether the wording is the vendor’s or ours.

Why do some items show severity as unknown?

Ubuntu security notices carry no severity of their own, and we don’t invent one.
