Skaylink

Skaylink sells cloud transformation work to enterprises that can't afford to get security wrong mid-migration. Part of Vodafone and staffed by more than 500 people across Europe, the company runs cloud strategy, workload migration, security and compliance, and ongoing managed services on Microsoft Azure and AWS. The security function isn't a bolt-on: it sits inside migration programs that move enterprise workloads to hyperscaler platforms under regulated conditions, which means identity, landing-zone design, and continuous compliance work is done in the same delivery stream as the migration itself.

The client roster sets the threat model. BMW Group, Henkel, Continental, and KWS - automotive, chemicals and consumer goods, seed science - alongside projects across every industry. Those are multi-country, multi-account environments where the practical risks are misconfigured cloud tenancy, uncontrolled IAM sprawl across Azure and AWS, and drift between what compliance frameworks require and what production actually runs. Skaylink was named ISG Multi Public Cloud Leader 2025 and describes itself as one of the leading cloud technology providers in the European market.

Work here is delivered using the company's own software-based tools and frameworks alongside hyperscaler-native services, so security practitioners end up building and operating guardrails as code rather than writing policy documents. The stated remit - "open the gates of cloud technology for all" - translates into central cloud and transformation projects where security engineering, compliance automation, and managed-service operations overlap. Expect multi-cloud exposure, regulated European customers, and ownership of controls that have to survive real migration velocity.
