About Security Mixologists

Founded by two seasoned security professionals with decades of combined experience across enterprise technology, financial services, legal services, and law enforcement.

Our Approach

Unlike traditional security consultancies that operate in silos, Security Mixologists takes an integrated approach—blending cyber, physical, and surveillance disciplines to create comprehensive security solutions that are more effective, efficient, and cost-effective than the sum of their parts.

The "Mixologists" name reflects our unique approach: mixing the right security ingredients—cybersecurity controls, physical protections, and surveillance capabilities—to craft custom solutions tailored to each client's specific needs and constraints.
