Techniques that facilitate group patching recommendation and/or remediation with risk assessment are provided. In one example, a system includes a vertical stack component, a horizontal stack component and a risk classification component. The vertical stack component identifies a first patch profile from a software system associated with a computer system environment. The horizontal stack component identifies a second patch profile from a hardware system associated with network nodes of the computer system environment. The system learns over time to identify repetitive patterns using machine learning techniques. Then, the risk classification component performs a machine learning process to determine a risk classification for the computer system environment based on the first patch profile and the second patch profile.
