Our story
From data foundations to secure, intelligent systems.
DataInn started in 2020 as an AI and data engineering consultancy for enterprise teams in Canada and the Gulf. The pattern we kept seeing was simple: AI programmes stall on data, and data programmes stall without use cases.
So we built one team that does both — and, as the systems we built started making decisions and taking actions, we brought security into the same team. Today that is three connected practices: Data Foundation, Applied AI and Cybersecurity.
Principles
Four principles we work by.
- 01
Start with the decision
Define the workflow, owner and success measure before choosing a model, platform or vendor.
- 02
Build governance into the system
Access controls, evaluation, lineage and human approval are part of the architecture from the start.
- 03
Leave capability behind
Code, runbooks, documentation and ownership transfer to your team.
- 04
Secure by default
Least privilege, encryption, tested controls and traces are the starting point, not an add-on before go-live.
What to expect
What clients can expect from us.
Senior practitioners stay close
The people who scope the work stay involved in delivery, reviews and key decisions.
Your cloud, your repositories
We work inside your environment, so nothing has to be handed back.
Short, useful increments
Each one produces something decision-ready, testable or usable.
Straight answers
If data, controls or the business case aren't ready, we say so — and identify what to fix first.
Team
The people you'll work with.
Team profiles are coming soon. In the meantime, every engagement is led by a senior practitioner you’ll meet on the first call.
Offices
Two hubs, one team.
