Cybersecurity for Businesses
Managed cybersecurity: real protection, without needing an in-house security team
More than half of cyberattacks in Portugal affect SMEs — and a single ransomware incident can bring operations to a standstill for days and cost tens of thousands of euros. DataRoad designs, implements and manages all aspects of your company’s IT securityprevention, 24/7 monitoring, incident response and recovery. All for a fixed fee, with named accountable people and written SLAs.
The risk has changed — defence also has to change
Antivirus is no longer enough. Today, attacks come through a well-crafted phishing email, a reused password, a misconfigured remote access or a compromised supplier. And they don't choose by company size: they choose who is poorly protected.
The good news: most incidents are avoidable with well-managed layers of protection — not with another bought-and-forgotten software. That is precisely what DataRoad does: security as a continuous service, managed by a team certified in Fortinet, Sophos, Cisco and Microsoft, integrated with your company's support and infrastructure.
The layers of protection we manage
Managed firewalls
Network perimeter protected with next-generation firewalls — configuration, updates, traffic monitoring and secure VPNs for remote working.
Endpoint and server protection
Next-generation antivirus (EDR) on all devices, with suspicious behaviour detection and automatic isolation of compromised machines.
Email security
Phishing, spam and malicious attachment filtering before they reach the mailbox — the number 1 entry point for attacks.
Access and identity
Multi-factor authentication (MFA), password policies, privilege management and access auditing — to ensure that a stolen password doesn’t leave the whole company vulnerable.
Backups and recovery
Managed and tested backups with a disaster recovery plan: if all else fails, the company recovers — without paying ransoms.
Wi-Fi and segmented network
Separate guest networks, departmental segmentation and Secure enterprise Wi-Fi, to contain any intrusion.
GDPR compliance
Technical and organisational measures aligned with the GDPR: personal data protection, records, retention and documented incident response.
Team awareness
Good practices and alerts for your employees — because a distracted user's wrong click remains the greatest risk.
Ad-hoc security or managed security?
| Focus | What is happening | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Buy software and install it | One-off licences, no management, no policy updates, no monitoring. | False sense of security. Attacks evolve; protection stands still. |
| Annual audit | Photograph of the moment, report delivered — and nobody executes the recommendations. | The identified risk is still there. Paper doesn't block ransomware. |
| DataRoad managed cybersecurity | Protection layers implemented and managed every day, with 24/7 monitoring, incident response and continuous improvement. | Permanently reduced risk, with a clear owner: us. |
How much does it cost to protect the business?
Security management forms part of the IT Unlimited plansEndpoint protection, access policies, backups and monitoring are included in the fixed monthly fee, with no tie-in period.

Frequently asked questions about cybersecurity
My business is small — are we really a target?
Yes, and precisely for that reason: current attacks are automated and target poorly protected companies, not large ones. SMEs are 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 via phishing, stolen passwords and remote access. You have to protect in layers: perimeter, endpoints, email, access and backups.
What happens if we are attacked?
With DataRoad's managed security, the incident is detected by monitoring, the affected machine is isolated, and recovery is carried out from tested backups — with an average response time of under 2 hours and clear communication to management throughout the process.
Does this help us with GDPR?
Yes. The technical measures we implement — data protection, access control, backups, and incident logging — are the basis for GDPR compliance, and we document everything for your data protection officer or legal advisor.
How long does the implementation take?
Essential layers remain active in the first weeks; the complete plan is organised in phases according to risk priority, without interrupting operations. Following implementation, management is ongoing — security is never “finished”.
