Why Us | Two Four Secure

Truly effective cyber security involves knowing exactly what's protected and why. We don't hide behind jargon or push unnecessary products. We're the specialists who find what off-the-shelf solutions miss, giving you the visibility and protection that your business deserves.

Goal

Who we are

Why we are different

To redefine what great cyber security looks like.

Protecting exceptional organisations with precision, integrity and a ‘hands-on’ approach that never settles for good enough

A team of operators, not spectators.

A team of operators, not spectators. Pro-active problem solvers, calm under pressure and there when it matters most. We go the extra mile every day for our customers and each other, united by the belief that security is fundamental to business success

Too many cyber security companies fall short of expectations when customers need them the most.

So our aim is simple: to end mediocrity. We believe cyber security is too important for shortcuts, so we work with customers who take it seriously. Customers who want more than compliance; who want security built into everything they do.

The Two Four Way

We don’t sell products; we deliver managed security solutions to meet business needs. Guided by our experience, powered by great tools, and enhanced by AI, not replaced by it.

We don’t just raise alarms, we act. We solve hard problems and bring clarity to chaos. We don’t disappear behind dashboards or throw tickets into the void, we take ownership, investigate, tune and fix.

We provide insight into your security posture, amalgamating risks and remediation activities, visible 24/7
Our relationship doesn’t stop with your account manager. Every team member is invested in your security, with the ability to clearly communicate either technical detail or business impact and risk.
Every specialist is exceptional, with elite security knowledge and skills, and a strong grounding in infrastructure design. We’re competent to operate within your environment to remove threats and mitigate impact.
We go further; in analysis, in response, in doing what others don’t. Because peace of mind isn’t a product: it’s a promise we deliver 24/7.

If you’re looking for cyber security done differently, from a provider that delivers complete confidence through exceptional service, contact us.

Chris Piggott

Chris Piggott is CEO of Two Four Secure, born from his belief that cybersecurity shouldn’t be an afterthought bolted onto traditional managed IT services. With a technical background that started at the service desk, Chris saw first-hand how cybersecurity often fell between the cracks when bundled into broader MSP offerings. Chris founded Two Four Secure to do things differently - focusing exclusively on cyber, so clients know their defences are being fully handled by specialists. Still deeply involved in the technical side, Chris leads from the front, guiding strategic direction while staying close to operations and customer challenges.
