The company you are consulting for should have a SMARTnet contract with
Cisco.
If they don't then place a call to Cisco and they will sell you a
contract via a reseller.
If the firmware has a security issue then Cisco will usually allow you
to download a patched IOS file version.
In my former life I had a very small and cheap Cisco device on SMARTnet.
As long as I had a log in I could download all the firmware I wanted for
any Cisco device.

support company can't/won't provide it.
Is it like UBNT/MT firmware where you can just upgrade or does it
require a purchase?
Not a Cisco guy, though I think that goes without saying...
