Looking for the offer rather than the project? Go straight to managed IT for embassies and international organisations.

In a diplomatic mission, an improvised network is a confidentiality risk before it is a technical problem. In 2020, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Portugal entrusted DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting with installing the new structured cabling for its IT network. The mission now has certified, orderly infrastructure with room to grow, at the level of discretion and reliability diplomacy demands.

What does an embassy require that an ordinary company does not?

It requires integrity, confidentiality and availability to be contractual conditions, not good intentions. The IT partner must prove technical competence and, at the same time, absolute discretion. The Embassy's decision reflects trust on both fronts and consolidates DataRoad's work with embassies, consulates, missions and international organisations in Portugal.

What network was installed?

The cabling was carried out by DataRoad end to end, with five goals set from the outset:

  1. Measured performance: every point certified and fit for demanding traffic.
  2. Order: outlets labelled and documented with precision.
  3. Reliable connections: tuned for the mission's internal systems and critical environments.
  4. Standards: compliance with international cabling and security references.
  5. Future capacity: ready for today's equipment and the generations that follow.

The mission now has a stable, scalable and protected foundation for its entire IT operation.

What criteria does a mission use to choose its IT partner?

  • Discretion Confidentiality at every stage of the work and operation.
  • Own, certified team With certifications from the leading vendors.
  • Track record in critical environments Networks that cannot afford failure.
  • Immediate response And follow-up after handover.
  • High security Reliable solutions aligned with the most demanding requirements.
