Enacting a compliance action using an assessment that considers a mix of coldpatches and hotpatches includes identifying a policy defining the compliance condition based on patching status of a software component. A patching state of the software component is determined, including identifying evidence of coldpatched binary file(s) and hotpatch binary file(s) applicable to the software component, and using the evidence to determine whether or not the hotpatch binary file(s) have been applied to a memory image into which an instance of the software component is loaded. Based on the policy and on the patching state of the software component, a compliance action is enacted for the compliance condition. The compliance action includes generating a health report or a health attestation, initiating a patching action, initiating an execution control action, and the like.
