As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

There may also be shops that have internal controls, procedures,

necessarily any other updates without rigorous review & testing.
Having a separate security group lets them get those updates
without scouring all PTF cover letters looking for just
security-related events.
FWiW. The security\integrity PTFs [for LIC, OS, and LPPs] had
already been included with the HIPer designation and each identified
with variant(s) of the "security" and "integrity" terms capable of
being found with a simple token search; i.e. no poring over cover
letters required to locate them. Issues which either effect data
errors per designation of "incorrect output" or defects which may
result in system failure, in many cases would be much more important
to include in the list of updates being installed [in consideration
of the cover letter text, for how the described situation might be
applicable], than those of a security nature [for which no
description of what either the defect or its correction is published
for which just as rigorous testing would be justified but without
full ability to review].
