HOW WE STARTED
Our Story
Every company has a story. Ours starts with family.
In 2013, Alaina Meyer founded scDataCom with a vision of building a company that combined technical expertise with exceptional customer service. As the daughter of an Army officer, she grew up around service, leadership, and technology, and saw an opportunity to create a different kind of security integration company - one that customers could trust as a long-term partner rather than just another contractor.
As the business began to gain momentum, Alaina faced the same challenge as many entrepreneurs: how to transform a promising startup into a company built to last.
At the same time, her mother, Kathleen Ford, had just retired at the rank of Colonel after more than 26 years serving in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps. Retirement didn't last long. When Alaina asked her to help build the company, Kathleen brought decades of leadership, strategic planning, and operational experience that complemented Alaina's entrepreneurial spirit perfectly. In 2014, they became business partners - and they've been leading scDataCom together ever since.
More than a decade later, that mother-daughter partnership remains at the heart of who we are. Different strengths. Shared values. One mission.
Today, scDataCom has grown into a nationally recognized security systems integrator serving commercial, healthcare, government, education, industrial, logistics, and critical infrastructure customers across the United States. Our team has successfully delivered projects in more than 40 states, supporting some of the nation's most demanding environments, including Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers, Department of Defense installations, federal agencies, healthcare systems, the Georgia Ports Authority, and leading commercial organizations.
While our footprint has expanded, our philosophy hasn't changed. We believe great security starts with great people, lasting relationships, and a commitment to doing the right thing every time. That's why we invest in our employees, stand behind our work, and approach every project as if our own reputation depends on it—because it does.
We're proud to be a Woman-Owned and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned small business, but even more proud of the trust our customers place in us. Every project is an opportunity to earn that trust again, and it's a responsibility we never take for granted.
