Dear Sir/Madam:

                  Re:  CYOP Systems International Incorporated (the "Company")
                         Registration of Common Shares
                  -------------------------------------------------------------

                  The following opinion is provided in connection with the
Company's registration of 8,998,000 outstanding common shares under a Form SB-2
registration statement and prospectus dated October 17, 2001 (the "Registration
Statement"). This opinion is restricted to the laws of the State of Nevada and
applicable Federal Laws. After reasonable inquiry, we are of the opinion that
the 8,998,000 common shares of the Company to be registered under the
Registration Statement have been properly authorized and when sold will be
legally issued as fully paid and non-assessable common shares of the Company.

                  This office consents to the filing of this opinion as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement and consents to the reference to our firm
in the Registration Statement.

                                                Yours truly,


                                                /s/Randall J. Lanham
                                                Randall J. Lanham
