Cloudworks celebrates 10 years as Nordic IAM specialist

This year we're celebrating a milestone – Cloudworks turns 10! Since 2015, we have been helping organizations secure their digital identities and implement effective access management solutions. Identity and Access Management (IAM) has always been at the core of our work, and we remain passionate about delivering top-quality IAM services to our customers.

An adventure of growth and strong relationships

Cloudworks was founded in Norway in 2015, and the last decade has been a thrilling journey marked by growth, strong partnerships, and lots of commitment. Beginning in Norway with a small team of specialists, we have expanded throughout the Nordics – entering Denmark in 2022, Sweden in 2023 and most recently Finland in 2025. It is very much the people who have shaped this company; our talented employees, who are passionate about their work, along with our customers and partners, with whom we have built strong relationships.

Alexander Friedensburg, Managing Director of Cloudworks, looks back on the past 10 years with pride:

It has been incredible to witness the development of Cloudworks over the years. We began as a small group of passionate specialists and have grown into a strong Nordic community. I am proud of both our professional expertise and the culture we have built – the close collaboration we have with both customers and colleagues is truly special.

IAM as a priority from day one

IAM has always been at the heart of Cloudworks, serving as a driving force that continues to inspire us.

– Our goal has consistently been to provide top-notch, technology-neutral advice and the most effective IAM solutions that meet customer needs. We will continue to offer expertise that assist our clients in navigating a complex security landscape, says Alexander. IAM

Trond Sand, Country Manager for Cloudworks Denmark, has closely observed the development since Cloudworks was established in Denmark in 2022:

– What makes Cloudworks unique is our skilled and dedicated team, who are passionate about helping our clients every day. We see the growing need for robust security solutions, and we are proud to be a trusted advisor and partner for our customers.

Max Rosencrantz, Country Manager for Cloudworks Sweden, has experienced significant growth for Sweden since 2023:

The Swedish market has welcomed us exceptionally well. Since we started in Sweden, we have built a strong team, and the demand for our expertise continues to grow. It is amazing to see how IAM makes a real difference for our customers.

New opportunities in Finland

In 2025, we embarked on a new chapter with our establishment in Finland. Henri Talvitie, Country Manager for Cloudworks Finland, shares insights on the exciting beginning:

It's an exciting time for Cloudworks in Finland! We've already put together a fantastic team of talented consultants and are happily helping Finnish organizations secure their identities and access. The demand for IAM solutions is growing, and we're building on the experience and expertise Cloudworks has developed over the past 10 year

Enthusiastic Cloudies make all the difference

Cloudworks wouldn't be where it is today without all the Cloudies, as we like to call ourselves.

Our team of passionate consultants works closely together to deliver IAM expertise that makes a difference for our clients. It's our colleagues' vast knowledge, commitment, and teamwork that make Cloudworks unique — and enable us to help organizations across the Nordics secure and manage their digital identities.

–We've built a company where professionalism and community go hand in hand. It's our Cloudies who drive us forward, and their dedication is the cornerstone of Cloudworks, says Alexander.

Looking ahead

Our 10-year anniversary is not just about reflecting on the past, but also about looking forward.

Alexander Friedensburg concludes:

We've always been driven by curiosity and a strong culture, and we’re bringing that spirit with us into the next 10 years. IAM is more crucial than ever, and we’ll continue to be a trusted advisor and partner for organizations across the Nordics.
