> Managed networks and IT for embassies and international organisations: a named team, segmented networks, managed firewall. Request a no-commitment proposal.

# Managed IT for embassies: a named team, no subcontracting

At a glance For decision-makers short on time.

- 01 Our own team named in the proposal, a fixed scope and no subcontracting.
- 02 We manage only the local network; the dedicated link to the capital stays out of scope.
- 03 Clients include the embassies of Saudi Arabia, Korea, Cyprus, Qatar, the USA, France, Morocco.
- 04 Works at night and at weekends; 24/7 support only on Premium 365.

**DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting manages networks and IT for embassies and international organisations in Portugal with its own team, named in the proposal, a closed scope and zero subcontracting, so the mission runs without ever opening the server room to strangers.** Headquartered in Alfragide, with support across the country and service in Portuguese or English.

For a diplomatic mission, the risk is not only technical: it is the network going down on the eve of a minister's visit, and a stranger with access to the server room. Missions from several continents already entrust this responsibility to DataRoad, one of Portugal's reference names in networks and IT for diplomatic missions.

## Which diplomatic missions already work with DataRoad?

Missions from several continents, all in Lisbon. The projects below are documented.

- [Saudi Arabia](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/saudi-embassy-lisbon-cat6a-cabling/): in Restelo, around 4,000 metres of CAT6A 10 Gb cable and fibre optics, with an outdoor run between buildings. Ten engineers finished the work in three days, after office hours, to meet the embassy's date.
- [Republic of Korea](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/embassy-korea-portugal-structured-cabling/): new cabling, firewall and security, followed by an IT Unlimited contract.
- [Consulate General of Brazil](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/brazil-consulate-lisbon-network/): a network from scratch, firewall, servers and IT Unlimited service.
- [Cyprus](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/embassy-cyprus-certified-cat6-cabling/): full replacement of the old cabling, CAT6 in every room, new rack and outlets.

In Lisbon we also serve the embassies of **France**, **Morocco**, the **State of Qatar** and the **United States of America**.

## Why can't an embassy be treated like an office?

Because it is the territory of another state, with confidentiality rules, a different time zone and dates that allow no delay.

- **Confidentiality** Every engineer is known and returns on every visit. Replacements are announced in advance, with the name of who is coming.
- **Two networks in one building** DataRoad is responsible for the local network: chancery, consular section, events and visitors. The dedicated link to the capital belongs to the state itself and we never touch it. Physical and logical separation, with separate racks if requested.
- **Heritage** Mansions in Restelo, Belém, Lapa or the Avenidas Novas, with thick stone, decorated ceilings and annexes without trunking. We devise discreet routes, outdoor cable runs and Wi-Fi that gets through old walls.
- **Fixed calendar** National day receptions and consular periods set the deadline. If needed, we work at night, at weekends and with a reinforced team.

- **Site visit**: building and annexes, without entering restricted areas; followed by a report with photographs and a floor plan.
- **Fixed proposal**: price, schedule and night or weekend windows defined.
- **Works**: always the same team; at the end, point certification and as-built documentation.
- **Ongoing management**: monitoring, periodic reviews, a monthly report, a request portal and a single point of contact.

## Questions from chanceries

### Do you touch the secure link to the capital?

No. The reserved link to the capital belongs to the mission's state and always stays outside DataRoad's scope. We manage only the local network, for the chancery, consular section, events and visitors, designed never to cross that channel, with physical and logical separation and, if the mission asks, separate racks.

### Is it always the same team?

Yes. Technicians are fixed, named in the proposal, and the same people return on every visit. Any substitution is announced in advance, with the name of who is coming. DataRoad does not use subcontractors, so the list the mission approves at the start is the list of people who enter the building.

### Can you work out of hours?

Yes, and we often do: at night, at weekends or during consular closures, with a reinforced team when the calendar demands it. At the Embassy of Saudi Arabia, ten technicians installed around 4,000 metres of CAT6A cable and fibre in three days, after office hours, to meet the agreed date.

### Can you work only in English if the mission prefers?

Yes. Service, reports and documentation are delivered in English or Portuguese, depending on the mission's working language, and several international clients use English only. Floor plans, rack diagrams, certifications and inventory stay with the mission in the chosen language and are updated with every change.

### Do you sign the embassy's confidentiality agreement?

Yes, before the first technical visit, together with the access terms the mission requires. The contract also includes its own confidentiality clause, and the list of who has remote access to each system is logged, with immediate revocation on request. In 11 years, DataRoad has never suffered a security incident.

### Do you take on a one-off project outside a contract?

No. DataRoad works only under an IT Unlimited contract: network projects are part of a contract or its first step, and ongoing management stays with us. Plans start from €395/month + VAT. For missions that need cover at nights, weekends and public holidays, [IT Unlimited Premium 365](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/premium-365-24-7-managed-it/) combines monitoring and 24/7 support.

## Where do we operate?

Our head office in Alfragide is less than 20 minutes from almost every mission: [Lisbon](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/lisbon-msp-managed-networks-it/), [Cascais](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/managed-networks-it-cascais/) and [Oeiras](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/managed-networks-it-oeiras/). Consulates outside the region are served within our [coverage areas](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/it-support-coverage-portugal/), with support across the whole of Portugal.

Discover the other [sectors we serve](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/managed-it-by-sector-portugal/): [hotels](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/hotel-wifi-and-it-services/), [healthcare](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/it-support-for-clinics/), [multinationals](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/it-support-multinationals-portugal/), [public administration](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/public-sector-network-infrastructure-portugal/) and [education](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/it-for-schools-universities-portugal/).

## Next step: a no-commitment proposal for your mission

The first meeting and the proposal come with no commitment. We work only under an IT Unlimited contract, directly with the mission, never on one-off jobs or stand-alone equipment sales. Annual contract, automatic renewal and no tie-in. Office hours on working days, 9:00–13:00 and 14:00–18:30.
