Guardian Protection Acquires Vortex Security

Guardian Protection’s acquisition of Florida-headquartered Vortex Security adds 5,000 accounts to Guardian’s base.

PITTSBURGH – Guardian Protection today announces the acquisition of Vortex Security, headquartered in Jupiter, Fla.

Vortex has operated in Florida since 2013, professionally installing commercial and residential security systems. The acquisition “will increase Guardian’s customer base primarily in its central Florida footprint,” according to the joint announcement.

“This is another highlight in our continuing journey toward profitable expansion,” says Guardian Protection president Bryan Cipoletti in the announcement. “Guardian is financially strong and eager to acquire like-minded companies. We plan to actively pursue acquisition opportunities that make sense for us.”

Vortex Security is Guardian’s third acquisition since 2021, when it acquired Rampart Security Systems in Pennsylvania. Guardian acquired Vintage Security of Maryland in 2023.

Vortex’s products and customer base parallel with Guardian’s business and the transition is expected to be seamless. Vortex customers will transition from Vortex’s third-party monitoring center to Guardian’s U.L.-certified, Five Diamond accredited monitoring facilities and in-house customer services.
