Looking for the service rather than the case? This article describes a project. The full offering is on the page for managed IT for embassies and international organisations.
In 2020, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Portugal chose DataRoad to install the new structured cabling for its IT network. The work gave the mission a certified, organised network infrastructure ready to grow, with the level of confidentiality and reliability a diplomatic environment demands.

Why an embassy is a different kind of client
In a diplomatic mission, the integrity, privacy and reliability of systems are not preferences, they are requirements. The IT partner must combine technical competence with complete discretion. The Embassy's choice of DataRoad reflects trust on both counts and strengthens the company's work with embassies, consulates, diplomatic missions and international organisations in Portugal.
The network infrastructure installed
DataRoad carried out all of the Embassy's structured cabling with five objectives:
- Certification — infrastructure measured and ready for high performance.
- Organisation — network points professionally labelled and documented.
- Connectivity — optimised for internal systems and critical environments.
- Compliance — with international cabling and security standards.
- Future-proofing — capacity for current network equipment and whatever comes next.
The result is a solid, scalable and secure foundation for the mission's entire IT operation.
What diplomatic missions look for in an IT partner
- Professional confidentiality Complete discretion at every stage.
- Certified competence An in-house team with certifications from leading manufacturers.
- Experience with critical infrastructure Networks that cannot fail.
- Fast response And ongoing follow-up after the works.
