Kyndryl, a global IT infrastructure services provider, has acquired Solvinity, a Netherlands-based provider of secure managed cloud services, for an undisclosed amount. This corporate acquisition marks a strategic move for Kyndryl to enhance its capabilities in highly secure cloud environments. Solvinity, with over 300 employees, specializes in delivering secure and reliable IT environments for organizations with stringent security requirements, serving government, financial institutions, and business services sectors.
Solvinity’s expertise spans innovative cloud solutions, outsourcing, managed hosting, and DevSecOps, including CI/CD and container technology. A key differentiator is its robust cybersecurity portfolio, which includes a majority stake in Securify.nl, a team of ethical hackers and security researchers offering advanced services like Pentesting, Red Teaming, and Agile Security. The company holds extensive certifications such as ISO 27001, ISO 14001, ISO 9001, PCI DSS, and was the first Managed Service Provider in the Netherlands to achieve SOC 1 and 2 compliance reports for its entire private and Azure cloud management environment.
This acquisition is strategically important for Kyndryl as it seeks to deepen its offerings in the secure cloud market, particularly for clients facing complex regulatory and security challenges. The integration of Solvinity’s specialized security services, certified compliance, and ethical hacking capabilities will complement Kyndryl’s broad IT infrastructure expertise. The synergy is expected to enable the combined entity to provide a more comprehensive and highly secure suite of managed cloud and IT outsourcing solutions to a wider range of customers requiring robust data protection and operational resilience.
Looking ahead, the combined strengths of Kyndryl and Solvinity are anticipated to establish a formidable presence in delivering advanced, secure managed IT services. The acquisition aims to meet the escalating demand for secure digital transformation, ensuring customers can confidently manage their critical IT infrastructure and applications in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
