Case Study: Penfold achieves simple, secure DevOps access and cuts deployments from 3 months to 1 week with Twingate

Penfold Uses Twingate to Deliver Simple and Secure Access for DevOps Teams

Penfold, a UK-based digital pension provider, faced scaling challenges with developer connectivity and security. Their VPN and AWS bastion-host setup made access provisioning cumbersome, exposed public attack surfaces, and struggled to handle frequent contractor churn. Penfold evaluated Zero Trust solutions and chose Twingate to deliver simpler, more secure access for its DevOps teams.

Twingate’s Zero Trust solution integrated with Penfold’s Google Workspace identity provider, enabled self-enrollment, and provided granular access controls, a web-based admin console, and comprehensive logging. The deployment eliminated public-facing attack points, streamlined onboarding and maintenance, and materially improved performance—reducing deployment time from three months to one week—while improving auditability and day-to-day developer experience.
