Our history
For 20 years, creating safer environments has been at the core of how we attain our purpose and fulfill the need for a true commercial security integration company.
The beginnings of Security 101 go back to 2003. Since that time, our unique and sophisticated approach attracted success and rapid growth, grabbing the attention of industry leaders, which led to inquiries about expansion into other states.
In 2007, Security Franchisors, LLC was created as a franchising model by veterans Jim Pasquarello and Steve Crespo, in an effort to maintain, stabilize, and intensify the outstanding growth rate Security 101 was experiencing. Our corporate headquarters remain in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Our network of offices continues to expand thanks to an unparalleled business model that delivers solutions to satisfy the most demanding projects and offers the advantages of a smaller integrator, by resorting to our local roots and heritage, while supplying the efficacy, professionalism, and experience of a trusted national integrator.
Our mission
We have a clear mission: to help you create the safest environment possible, wherever you are located, with our accessible, comprehensive, state-of-the-art solutions, local support, exceptional customer experience, and global reach.
We want to leave a positive mark on the world.
With Gift of Security, our national corporate giving initiative, we are creating positive, safer environments and helping nonprofits in need of better security protect their site and reduce crime in their community.
Each locally-owned Security 101 office across the nation — together with Axis Communications and ADI Global — donates products and services to each winner valued at $10,000, which greatly benefits our local communities.
Our values
We are a team united in our purpose to keep your site protected and grant you peace of mind 24/7 through the power of three constructive core values.

Our team of dedicated security experts always demonstrates integrity by being honest, consistent, and treating others with respect. We believe in accountability, trust, and the willingness to change to keep getting better as individuals and as an organization.

We have a positive, light-hearted attitude, and value camaraderie. For us, it is essential to have fun at work and love what we do. Promoting internal collaboration, boosting morale, avoiding employee burnout, and celebrating our personal and professional milestones are part of delivering the best customer experience you will ever get in the security industry.
What our customers say about us
As a high school principal, my main goal is always to protect my students and staff. Security 101 listened to our concerns and problems we had with our former security integrator and installed a touchless access control system across our large campus that is perfect for us. Now, our school community feels safer than ever.

24/7 monitoring had become a priority for my organization as the crime rate in the city went up. We needed video surveillance with remote access and cameras with a decent resolution. Security 101 was our partner in the whole process and delivered what they promised. Well, in fact, they exceeded our expectations.

We’ve had our intrusion system since 2012. Over the years, naturally, we realized it was outdated. With Security 101 we were able to get the features we were looking for and eliminate completely unauthorized access, which was a big concern. It’s been one of the best investments for our small business.
