The Terriers team featured ex-Derby loanee James Vaughan up front.
Ward tested Alex Smithies with a 20-yard effort in the the third minute and the visiting keeper tipped over a dipping free kick from the same player shortly afterwards.
Vaughan curled a shot wide after Adam Clayton's pass has set him free on the counter attack, while Oliver Norwood flashed a free kick wide from distance.
Conor Sammon and Bryson were both narrowly off target after good link-up play from Ward.
But the Rams did open the scoring in the 24th minute.
John Brayford found Paul Coutts on the right and his inviting low cross was neatly converted by Bryson from close range.
Sammon wriggled his way in on goal five minutes later but was eventually crowded out by a combination of Smithies and Peter Clarke.
Derby doubled their lead after 33 minutes.
More good work from Sammon saw him find Gareth Roberts in space on the left and the full-back's cross was met first-time by Ward, who guided the ball high into the net from 10 yards.
The hosts were now well on top as they looked to press home their advantage, with Brayford firing over after marauding forward from right-back, but there were no more goals before the interval.

“Nice to see a goal from all departments in the team,obviously Roberts didn't read the script or listen to the team talk best he's played for derby and a shot at goal,let's hope we can take a positive from today's proformance and kick on next week,but just goes to show what this league is like Sheffield Wednesday beating Brighton the games went for us today,let's hope there's no meddling with the team next week and who no,s were we could Finnish ,and the big spending florist lost again what a shame not! You raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaams”
