Case Study: Penfold achieves simple, secure DevOps access with Twingate

Penfold simplifies secure access for 11-50 employees with Twingate

Penfold, a UK-based digital pension provider, faced challenges with its cumbersome and insecure network access for its DevOps teams and contractors. Their traditional bastion host setup in AWS was difficult to maintain, created a security risk, and did not scale well with their growing team and frequent contractor churn. They needed a more secure and scalable solution to provide access to their cloud-heavy infrastructure and third-party regulatory systems.

Penfold implemented Twingate, a Zero Trust networking solution, to replace their legacy VPN. The solution integrated seamlessly with their Google Workspace identity provider, allowing for centralized user management and easy self-enrollment. The result was a dramatic improvement in both security and user experience. Twingate provided granular access controls and extensive logging, while its client was unobtrusive and required minimal maintenance, leading the CTO to note that the product "just works."
