Key takeaways

  • Security 101 acquired LVSI Corp., a Springfield, Virginia-based systems integrator.
  • LVSI president Bryan Thomas will remain as general manager under Security 101.
  • Viking Mergers & Acquisitions' Richmond office advised LVSI on the transaction.

Security 101 has acquired LVSI Corp., a Springfield, Virginia-based systems integration firm, expanding its Mid-Atlantic presence. Securityinfowatch reported the deal on November 12, 2026. The price was not disclosed.

Security 101 is a West Palm Beach, Florida-based provider of integrated security solutions to commercial customers in healthcare, education, financial services and government. LVSI provides systems integration services spanning engineering and procurement through installation, commissioning, operations and maintenance.

What the LVSI Deal Adds

LVSI's work includes physical and electronic security, IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, tactical systems, wireless communications and professional audiovisual systems. The firm has experience supporting federal and other mission-critical environments, along with commercial and institutional facilities.

Greg Daly, CEO of Security 101, said the acquisition adds technical depth across connected environments. "Physical security doesn't operate in isolation anymore. The networks, IT infrastructure, and communications systems behind it are just as critical as the security technology itself," Daly said.

Bryan Thomas, president of LVSI, will remain with the company as general manager, overseeing its operations as part of Security 101. "Joining Security 101 gives our team the opportunity to build on that foundation with the resources and reach of a national organization," Thomas said.

Viking Mergers & Acquisitions' Richmond office served as the exclusive advisor to LVSI in the transaction. Security 101 said the deal continues its strategy of acquiring established regional integrators with specialized capabilities, experienced teams and established customer relationships.
