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.

What a good Datadog partner looks like
Five principles that guide every Critical Cloud engagement, whether a two-week HealthScan, a Launchpad rollout, or a long-running Managed Datadog relationship.
Transparency
You keep access to your data, dashboards, and decisions at every stage. Nothing is hidden or locked away. Your Datadog environment is always yours to inspect.
Ownership
Approved backlog items are completed, not handed back half-finished. We own the delivery, not just the advice.
Collaboration
Platform, ops, development, and security work from one shared plan, not separate workstreams. Datadog delivers its full value when context is shared.
Enablement
Better standards, templates, and knowledge remain after every engagement. Your team gets stronger, not more dependent on Critical Cloud.
Integration
Datadog work is tied to reliability, security, performance, and cost outcomes- not abstract platform activity or adoption metrics.
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
