Twin Technology - Tomorrow's Technology Today

Cybersecurity for Business

Cyber attacks don’t just hit big corporations — small and medium UK businesses are targeted
every day, precisely because they’re often the least protected. Twin Technology closes the gaps
with layered, proportionate security built around how your business actually works.
Most breaches aren’t sophisticated. They exploit the basics: a reused password, an unpatched laptop, a convincing phishing email. The good news is that the same basics, done properly, stop the overwhelming majority of attacks. We fix the fundamentals first — then layer on the protection your particular business and sector need. No scaremongering, no gold-plating you don’t need: just sensible security at competitive rates.
Protection layers

The layers of protection every business needs

  • Endpoint protection (EDR): modern detection-and-response on every device — powered by Huntress and backed by a 24/7 Security Operations Centre (SOC), so real analysts investigate threats around the clock, not just automated alerts.
  • Email security: filtering phishing, spoofing and malware before they reach inboxes — email is still the number-one way in.
  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA): stops a stolen password from becoming a breach.
  • Identity threat detection & response (ITDR): continuous monitoring of your Microsoft 365 for the threats MFA can’t catch — hijacked sessions, suspicious inbox rules, unusual logins — with a human analyst stepping in the moment something’s wrong.
  • Patching & secure configuration: keeping systems up to date and locked down, so known holes are closed.
  • Backup & recovery: tested backups so ransomware is a bad day, not the end of the business.
  • Staff awareness training: your people are the front line — a little training prevents a lot of incidents.
Our stack

The security stack behind your protection

We don’t rely on off-the-shelf antivirus and hope for the best. We deploy proven, enterprise-grade tools — and, crucially, back them with people:

Huntress Managed ITDR & EDR

24/7 threat detection and response with a real Security Operations Centre. When a threat fires, a human analyst investigates and contains it in real time (see the case study below for a real example).

Microsoft 365 E3 and E5 security

We deploy and manage the security built into Microsoft 365, including Microsoft Defender, for businesses on those plans.

Panda Adaptive Defense 365 (a WatchGuard product)

Advanced endpoint protection for environments that don’t run Microsoft Defender, so every device is covered.

The common thread: layered tools, actively monitored by people — because the tools alone are not enough.
Certification

Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials Plus

Cyber Essentials is the UK government-backed scheme that certifies you’ve got the five core security controls in place. It reassures customers, is required for many public-sector and larger contracts, and is a solid baseline for any business. Cyber Essentials Plus adds an independent, hands-on technical audit. We’re Cyber Essentials certified ourselves, so we know exactly what passing takes — and we’ll get you there at competitive rates. (See our guides: Cyber Essentials vs Cyber Essentials Plus, and How to get certified.)

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the most important cybersecurity measure for a small business?
There isn’t a single silver bullet, but multi-factor authentication, email security and keeping systems patched together stop the large majority of attacks. They’re the highest-value place to start.
Do small businesses really get targeted?
Yes — and increasingly so. Many attacks are automated and indiscriminate, and smaller businesses are attractive precisely because they tend to be less protected. Being small is not the same as being safe.
What is Cyber Essentials?
A UK government-backed certification confirming you have five core security controls in place. It builds customer trust, is required for many contracts, and is a strong baseline. We’re certified ourselves and can help you achieve it.
How much does business cybersecurity cost?
It scales to the size of your business and your risk — there’s no point paying for protection you don’t need. We build a proportionate package at competitive rates and give you a clear, tailored quote. Get in touch and we’ll price it for you.
