About us
Engineering the systems that keep critical operations running
Cyber Data Services (CDS) is an engineering-led technology partner that bridges information technology and operational technology — designing, integrating, securing and supporting the systems behind essential operations across Canada, Nigeria and Africa.
Our story
Engineering-led from day one
Founded in 2016, Cyber Data Services emerged from a clear need: critical infrastructure operators required technology partners who understood both information technology and industrial control systems.
Our founders brought together decades of experience in oil & gas, rail, mining and government to create a firm that speaks the language of operational technology while delivering enterprise-grade IT and security.
Today we serve clients across Canada and Nigeria — from SCADA networks to enterprise IT — with comprehensive solutions tailored to critical infrastructure.
