This database comprehensively compiles business registration information of enterprises within Mainland China whose operational scope includes cybersecurity-related activities. Covering the period from 1950 to 2024, it aggregates approximately 9.6 million corporate records spanning over seven decades of China's cybersecurity industry development. Its core construction logic relies on a meticulously designed system of 200+ cybersecurity core keywords to systematically filter, identify, and integrate market entities directly related to the cybersecurity domain from CnOpenData's massive underlying business registration database. This dataset provides a robust and systematic micro-level data foundation for researching the structure, scale, distribution, evolutionary patterns, and market dynamics of China's cybersecurity industry.
Key Features:
- Precise Cybersecurity Industry Definition: Unlike broad classifications such as "information technology" or "software services," this database employs a precise identification strategy based on operational activities. Screening through 200+ core keywords covering technology, products, services, and compliance requirements ensures that included enterprises are fundamentally engaged in cybersecurity, significantly enhancing industry relevance and purity for accurate industrial analysis.
- Extended Historical Coverage and Industry Evolution Tracking: Encompassing complete data from 1950 to present, it offers a unique long-term industrial perspective. Researchers can systematically examine the entire lifecycle of China's cybersecurity industry—from inception and growth to maturity—analyzing impacts of critical historical milestones (e.g., early internet adoption, implementation of Multi-Level Protection Scheme (MLPS), enactment of the Cybersecurity Law, enforcement of the Data Security Law) on enterprise establishment, deregistration, and business scope changes, thereby revealing macro-level evolutionary patterns and micro-level drivers.
- Comprehensive Coverage and Dynamic Updates: Built upon CnOpenData's underlying full-scale business registration database, it strives to cover all cybersecurity-related enterprises in Mainland China meeting keyword screening criteria—including active, deregistered, revoked, and other operational statuses—forming a near-complete sample database (~9.6 million entries) to mitigate sampling bias. Data undergoes regular updates to reflect market dynamics (new registrations, deregistrations, information modifications).
- Comprehensive Core Business Fields: Each record contains essential business registration fields, including Enterprise Name, Unified Social Credit Code/Registration Number, Legal Representative, Registered Capital, Establishment Date, Approval Date, Enterprise Status (active, deregistered, revoked, etc.), Registered Address (province, city, district/county), Business Scope (including cybersecurity-related descriptions used for screening), and Industry Code (National Economic Industry Classification). These fields form the basis for analyzing fundamental characteristics, spatiotemporal distribution, and corporate lifecycles.
Potential Applications:
- Academic Research: Analyzing spatial agglomeration (regional distribution, urban clusters), market structure (concentration, firm size distribution), enterprise entry-exit dynamics, industry lifecycle, and regional competitiveness assessments.
- Business Services: Assisting enterprises in identifying potential competitors; providing foundational data for target company searches, industry scanning, and regional market potential evaluations.
- Policy Optimization: Quantitatively evaluating impacts of national (e.g., Cybersecurity Law, Data Security Law, Personal Information Protection Law) and regional cybersecurity policies on enterprise registrations, business expansion, and geographical distribution.
The CnOpenData Cybersecurity Enterprises Business Registration Database—with its full-scale screening mechanism based on precise keywords, unparalleled historical coverage (1950–2024), and detailed micro-level enterprise information—provides indispensable high-quality, structured data infrastructure. It empowers academia to explore the evolutionary logic, structural characteristics, and developmental drivers of China's cybersecurity industry, while enabling businesses to grasp market landscapes and optimize strategic decisions.
