I'm aware of PSI for Windows, which will alert you to any products that are vulnerable or end-of-life (including browser plug-ins):

I've not used their "business edition" so I don't know what reporting and/or patching capabilities it has (if any). The free personal edition works well, it caught an older version of Flash that was installed in an odd place as part of another product's installation.
