In 2022, the Departamento Central de Investigação e Ação Penal (DCIAP), Portugal's central department for criminal investigation and prosecution, chose DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting to install, renew and certify all of the organisation's IT cabling and network infrastructure. The project combined structured cabling, fibre-optic interconnections and full certification of every point, in a public environment where information systems must run continuously, securely and reliably. ## What data summarises the project? - **Client** Departamento Central de Investigação e Ação Penal (DCIAP). - **Sector** Public sector. - **Year** 2022. - **Scope** Structured cabling, firewall and security, servers and infrastructure, IT Unlimited support. ## Why a critical body needs a certified network In an organisation like DCIAP, the network carries large volumes of data and supports processes that cannot stop. Ageing or undocumented cabling turns into outages, slowness and risk. The answer was to renew the physical layer from scratch and prove, point by point, that it meets the standards. ## How the new infrastructure was built ### Structured cabling for high availability An infrastructure ready for high levels of availability, scalability and performance, suited to public bodies and environments with heavy data traffic. ### Fibre optics for interconnections High-performance fibre links between equipment and internal departments, with more speed, greater reliability and lower latency. ### Certification of every point Every network point was certified to guarantee compliance with international standards and reliable system operation. ## The teams involved The project was led by DataRoad's networking and consulting teams, holding certifications from several major manufacturers, with experience in highly complex environments and large-scale projects. The commitment is to deliver efficient, cost-effective projects on schedule, exceeding the client's expectations. ## The network after the works: managed services As an MSP, DataRoad maintains the networks it installs with managed services focused on prevention: - **Continuous monitoring** Alerts, reports and tracking of the status of critical services. - **Proactive network management** Anticipating problems rather than waiting for the incident. - **Service desk** Specialist support, from minor interventions to critical incidents. - **IT Unlimited** Unlimited support for a fixed fee; on the Premium 365 plan, 24/7 cover every day of the year. ## A benchmark in networks for the public sector Critical projects such as DCIAP's strengthen DataRoad's position in IT network implementation, consulting, security and infrastructure management, and in managed IT services for companies and public institutions. We thank DCIAP for its preference and renew our commitment to delivering reliable, documented solutions suited to each client. ## Frequently asked questions ### What does certifying every network point mean? Testing each point with dedicated equipment and confirming that it meets international performance standards, with a report that stands as proof of the quality of the installation. ### Why fibre optics for the interconnections?
