Cybersecurity for Businesses

Managed cybersecurity: real protection, without needing an in-house security team

More than half of all cyberattacks in Portugal hit SMEs — and a single ransomware incident can halt operations for days and cost tens of thousands of euros. DataRoad provides cybersecurity for businesses: we design, implement and manage the complete IT security of your business: prevention, proactive monitoring, incident response and recovery. All for a fixed monthly fee, with named owners and written SLAs.

The risk has changed — your defence must change too

Antivirus is no longer enough. Today's attacks come in through a well-written phishing email, a reused password, a poorly configured remote access or a compromised supplier. And they don't pick companies by size: they pick whoever is poorly protected.

The good news: most incidents are preventable with well-managed layers of protection — not with yet another piece of software bought and forgotten. That is exactly what DataRoad does: security as a continuous service, managed by a team certified by Fortinet, Sophos, Cisco and Microsoft, and integrated with your company's support and infrastructure.

The layers of protection we manage

One-off security or managed security?

How much does it cost to protect your business?

Included in the IT Unlimited plans

Security management is part of the IT Unlimited plans: endpoint protection, access policies, backups and monitoring are covered by the fixed monthly fee, with no lock-in. Specific projects — a new firewall, network segmentation, a security audit or GDPR alignment — receive a tailored proposal, with scope and price agreed in writing.

How we lock down your business

1. AuditA survey of the real risks: perimeter, endpoints, access, email, backups and compliance.
2. PlanPriorities ranked by impact and cost, explained in management language — not technical jargon.
3. ImplementationLayers of protection installed and configured by a certified team, without stopping operations.
4. Ongoing managementMonitoring (24/7 on Premium 365), updates, recovery tests and regular reports to management.

Real cases: managed security in companies like yours

We don't sell security in theory. These are projects published on our website, with the client named:

FreshDesign — NGFW firewall and secure remote working

Next-generation firewall, SSL VPN for remote access, Internet load balancing and failover, with real-time monitoring and alerting. See the case →

Ventask — more than 350 workstations protected

Ongoing management of firewalls, switches and wireless access points, with proactive monitoring, under an IT Unlimited contract. See the case →

Velv by OnRising — from 90 to 200 workstations

Wireless network, firewall, servers and SLA-backed support at a fixed monthly cost, under a contract that grew with the company. See the case →

What we put in writing

Managed security without documentation isn't security — it's blind faith. The contract and our reports set out:

• An inventory of what is protected: workstations, servers, firewalls, email accounts and backups, with the status of each layer.
• Response times by priority: a security incident is logged as top priority, with the SLA clock running from the moment of the alert.
• A backup policy with restore tests: what is backed up, how often, where it is stored and when it was last successfully restored.
• A monthly report: alerts handled, updates applied, attempts blocked and what we recommend fixing next.
• Who does what during an incident: contacts, isolation sequence, internal communication and, where applicable, notification to the authorities.

NIS2 and legal obligations

Since 2025, the NIS2 Directive has been transposed into Portuguese law by Decree-Law 125/2025, with mandatory registration on the MyCiber platform and fines of up to 10 million euros for the entities covered. The measures required — risk management, backups, access control, incident response and training — are exactly the layers described on this page. Find out whether your company falls under NIS2 and what you need to do, and use our cybersecurity checklist for SMEs as a starting point. For the most common fraud affecting Portuguese businesses — the invoice altered by email — we have a practical protection guide.

Cybersecurity FAQs

Is my company covered by NIS2?

It depends on the sector and size: NIS2 covers essential and important entities in sectors such as healthcare, energy, transport, digital and public administration, as well as suppliers to those entities. In Portugal it applies through Decree-Law 125/2025, with registration on MyCiber. We can carry out that check with you, with no commitment — see our page on NIS2 in Portugal.

Is managed security included in IT Unlimited?

Monitoring is included in every IT Unlimited plan, with 24/7 monitoring on Premium 365. The layers of protection — managed firewall, endpoint and server protection, email security and tested backups — are sized to your estate and covered by the same fixed monthly fee, with no hours counted and no surprise invoices when an alert fires.

My company is small — are we really a target?

Yes, and precisely for that reason: today's attacks are automated and seek out poorly protected companies, not large ones. SMEs make up the majority of victims in Portugal precisely because they invest less in protection.

We already have antivirus. Isn't that enough?

No. Traditional antivirus protects against known malicious files — but today's attacks come in through phishing, stolen passwords and remote access. Protection has to be layered: perimeter, endpoints, email, access and backups.

What happens if we are attacked?

With DataRoad managed security, the incident is detected by monitoring, the affected machine is isolated and recovery is carried out from tested backups — with an immediate response and clear communication with management throughout the process.

Does this help us with the GDPR?

Yes. The technical measures we implement — data protection, access control, backups and incident logging — are the foundation of GDPR compliance, and we document everything for your data protection officer or legal adviser.

How long does implementation take?

The essential layers are active within the first few weeks; the full plan is phased by risk priority, without interrupting operations. After implementation, management is continuous — security is never “finished”.
