IT leadership & security advisory, built on twenty years in the trenches.
Lucisnet is an IT advisory practice based in Porto. Selective engagements for EU SMBs that need senior-level IT leadership or security expertise without the overhead of a full-time hire.
What Lucisnet does
Advisory only. No reselling, no hosting, no web agencies. The focus is IT leadership and operations for companies that don't need (or can't justify) a full-time IT Director.
Fractional IT Leadership
Senior IT direction on a part-time basis. Strategy, team structure, vendor management, and security posture — without hiring a full-time IT Director.
ITSM & IT operations
Service desk design, ticketing workflow, SLAs, incident / problem / change processes. Moving IT from firefighting to managed service delivery — grounded in ITIL, without the religion.
Networks, servers & cloud
Network architecture and segmentation, server lifecycle (Windows Server, virtualisation), and cloud migration (Azure, M365 infrastructure). Choosing what runs where — and making the on-prem ↔ cloud boundary predictable rather than eventful.
Microsoft 365 & endpoint management
Intune, Conditional Access, Defender, Entra ID, Autopilot. Getting every laptop and phone into a managed, compliant state — and keeping them there.
Pragmatic AI adoption
Where AI actually earns its keep in a mid-market business today — tool selection, rollout governance, practical automations, and the security and data-residency implications. Vendor-agnostic, signal over hype.
Second opinion & due diligence
Independent review of a proposal, an MSP contract, or a tech-debt situation. Short engagements, sharp output.
