LINK GROUP

What LINK GROUP does

GRUPO LINKA® Sistemas Integrales S.L. (operating as LINK GROUP / GRUPO LINKA) is a privately held, Spain-domiciled managed IT and cybersecurity services firm headquartered in Vaciamadrid, Madrid. The company was founded in 2005 and operates with a sub-50 headcount while claiming nationwide service coverage across mainland Spain and the Balearic and Canary Islands, with field technicians in each province. It sells to Spanish enterprises of all sizes and verticals, with named exposure to notaries, healthcare (hospitals), municipal government and public administration, embassies, retail chains, transportation, education, hospitality, construction, and industrial manufacturing, as well as SMEs and autónomos (self-employed) via the public-sector KIT DIGITAL subsidy channel.

The product surface is built around three interlocking layers: (1) LINKA SHIELD ONE®, a proprietary branded managed cybersecurity suite bundling EDR/MDR, email protection, perimeter firewall (Fortinet), SSE/SASE (Netskope), vulnerability management, DSPM and a 24/7 SOC, sold in Essential, Pro and Enterprise tiers; (2) operational IT services — Mantenimiento Informático in three plans (Remoto / PYME / Empresa), 24-hour support, resident IT outsourcing, cloud servers, virtualisation/VDI, backup and disaster recovery, and Microsoft 365 projects; (3) governance and compliance offerings — CISOaaS, Pirámide KEOPS® (a five-level cybersecurity maturity framework), Red Team and pentesting, vulnerability analysis, and consulting for ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ENS Alto and NIS2. Channel positions include stated No.1 Fortinet firewall distributor and No.1 Netskope partner in Spain, and Agente Digitalizador status under Red.es's KIT DIGITAL programme.

Revenue is predominantly recurring and consumption-based: monthly subscriptions for SHIELD ONE tiers, CiberSOCaaS/NOCaaS, IT maintenance plans, e-learning, and cloud usage-based fees; 'Pago por Uso' Fortinet rentals that convert hardware capex into opex; project-based fees for audits, pentesting, Migrations and Microsoft 365 deployments; and KIT DIGITAL deployments partially funded by NextGeneration EU vouchers. Pricing is quote-based with public reference points only for KIT DIGITAL bundles (cybersecurity from €90/device/month, secure communications from €65/user/month, M365-style office services from €126/user/month, websites from €650/page). The company sells via direct field enterprise sales, inside-sales/helpdesk, white-label IT integration, channel partners (Fortinet, Netskope), and the KIT DIGITAL government channel — all domestic to Spain. The firm is not venture-backed and reports no parent company or external investors.
