Datadog partner across EMEA,
anchored by the world's first Powered by Datadog accreditation.
Critical Cloud is the world's first Powered by Datadog accredited MSP and a Datadog Advanced Partner. Our UK and Ireland operations are live. We are actively expanding across Benelux, DACH, the Nordics, and Central & Eastern Europe — bringing the same operational depth and accredited partnership to each market.
The EMEA expansion is built on a single, consistent operating model: Datadog as the operational foundation, not a monitoring bolt-on. Every market page below carries the same five principles, the same service catalogue, and the same accreditation moat that no EMEA competitor yet holds.

How we work across every EMEA market
Five principles that govern every Critical Cloud Datadog engagement, in every country. These are the criteria we apply ourselves to — and the criteria we'd tell any buyer to use when evaluating a Datadog partner anywhere in EMEA.
Transparency
You retain full access to your Datadog data, dashboards, and decisions at every stage. No black-box managed service; your environment is always yours to inspect and interrogate.
Ownership
Approved backlog items are completed, not handed back half-finished with a recommendation to spend more time. We take accountability for delivery outcomes, not for advice alone.
Collaboration
Platform, ops, dev, and security work from one shared plan. Datadog delivers its full value only when the context it captures crosses team and organisational boundaries.
Enablement
Better standards, templates, and working knowledge remain in your team after every engagement. We build for capability transfer — your team should be stronger at using Datadog after we leave than it was before.
Integration
Datadog work is tied to reliability, security, performance, and cost outcomes — not platform adoption metrics. The tool is the means; measurable operational improvement is the goal.
Services at a glance
Three phases of the Datadog journey, each with a defined service — available across every EMEA market we operate in. The same service catalogue, the same delivery standards, regardless of country.
Adopt
Getting Datadog live and delivering value — from evaluation through to a production-grade, fully instrumented deployment.
- FETCH™ — complimentary trial enablement alongside your account team.
- HyperCare™ — two-week post-go-live sprint to remove early blockers.
- LaunchPad™ — fully project-managed rollout to production.
Optimise
Assessment and improvement engineering for teams already running Datadog who want it to work properly, not just run.
- HealthScan™ — independent 1–2 week read-only assessment and scorecard.
- Catalyst — backlog-led improvement engineering; practitioners complete approved work.
- Accelerators — eight fixed-scope, four-week capability deliveries.
Manage
Ongoing Datadog platform operations and full 24×7 cloud incident response — both with Datadog embedded as the operational foundation, not an add-on.
- Managed Datadog — recurring monthly platform management and improvement.
- Critical Support — 24×7 cloud incident management for AWS and Azure.
All services are available in EMEA markets where Critical Cloud operates. EU data residency configuration is included as standard for EU-based deployments. Talk to us to discuss the right service for your environment.
Credentials
The accreditations and certifications that substantiate the EMEA partner claim. These apply across all markets — they are not market-specific badges, they are independently audited facts about how Critical Cloud operates.
Datadog accreditations
-

-
Datadog Advanced Partner. Requires certified engineers, active customer delivery, and independently validated outcomes. Not awarded on contract volume alone.
Security & compliance certifications

Cyber Essentials Plus — NCSC-backed UK government scheme with verified technical controls. Widely accepted for EMEA supply chain and public sector engagements.
