Information security policies and processes
Director of Technical Services is responsible for all aspects of security. There are stipulated policies in place with risks clearly idenfied especially where compliance is mandatory. Monitoring of these is done through periodic checks. To supplement this, there is also a Whistleblowing Policy.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
All components are recorded on a asset register and asset tagged where necessary. Should changes be needed a formal request is submitted to the change management board and risks would be assessed against the current safeguards in place against that component. Based on this assessment that change management board would recommend the correct and safest course of action.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
Potential threats are identified through risk assessments. Our response to identified threats is measured on severity and impact. This also defines the level to which the issue is escalated.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
We run anti-virus software on all servers and also gain reporting within our network on intrusion and unauthorised access attempts.

Continual monotoring enables potential security threats and their severity. Through effective patch releases from time to time and through monitoring their effectiveness, the protective monitoring process builds up intelligence to progressively refine itself and be better preapred by anticipating threats.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
There is a catelogue of likely common events with specified course of actions/processes to address and resolve. Within this, there is a defined process of incident notofication. Each notification is recorded in an Incident Management Register, what was done to address it and how effective it was. Based on this periodic reports are produced and distributed to relevant parties.

Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 Recovery
Covid-19 has had a severe disrupting effect on business and affected the very basis of how the working practices and staff efficiency were conducted and monitored before vs post pandemic readjustment.

Twin Technology has been at the forefront of this by capitalising on the use of technology as an advantage in introducing new practices such as remote working and remote meetings and conferences.
Tackling economic inequality

Tackling economic inequality

Tackling economic equality
In the United Kingdom, there is a visible disparity between the people of the South of England and the rest of the United Kingdom in the North in terms of employment possibilities, levels of earnings, standards of living and affordability. Vast difference in house prices is another example.

By the use of appropriate technology, Twin Technology contributes to facilitates concentrating on the skills capabilities and experience of people independent of the geographic location where they might be working from.

This is consistent with the stated aim of the British Government of “Levelling up.”
Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity

It is our policy in recognition of all relevant legislation to ensure that there will be no discrimination on the grounds of colour, race, nationality, religion, gender, marital status, domestic circumstance, disability, sexual orientation, age, or any legal affiliation(s). This is a positive policy and it is the requirement of all staff, employed or contracted, to actively follow these requirements. In Recruitment We will implement selection procedures that ensure this policy is observed. For UK we will ensure that potential employees / Associates are eligible to work in the UK as specified in the Asylum & Immigration Act 1996. Further we ensure that selection will be measured only on the basis of the pre-defined job / project description, qualification and/or experience specification criteria for the requirements of the post. Applicants meeting these criteria will receive an interview and final selection will be based only on the best fit for the criteria of the job / contract. For Supplier / Sub-Contractor Selection We will select suppliers on their capability to meet our and thus our clients' requirements. To ensure this is adhered to, procedures are implemented to specify requirements and selection will be on criteria that includes, please request. For Existing Staff It is the expectation that all existing members of staff, Associates and Trainers will, through the normal course of their duties, observe this equal opportunities policy. It should be noted that this policy must be adopted in all working relationships with all other employees, clients, delegates and the general public. Failure to comply with any element of this equal opportunities policy will result in the employee being disciplined using the disciplinary and grievance procedure and in the case of contracted staff they are liable to be in breach of contract.
