October 15, 2025

Directly on the heels of its acquisition of SETEC, Security 101, a portfolio company of Gemspring Capital and a national provider of comprehensive commercial security solutions, acquired JY Security LLC and Beartooth Corporation, two long-standing franchise partners serving the San Antonio and Minneapolis regions. With these transactions, Security 101 has now completed 21 strategic acquisitions.

Together, the acquisitions expand Security 101’s reach in two key regions and strengthen its position across commercial and government markets nationwide.

JY Security’s Jeff Ye and Beartooth’s Jake Froiland will continue in their roles as general managers, ensuring a seamless transition and consistent leadership for their respective teams.

“The addition of these two high-performing operations further advances our long-term strategy to unite exceptional regional businesses under the Security 101 brand,” said Greg Daly, CEO, Security 101. “Jeff and Jake exemplify the leadership and customer dedication that drive our growth nationwide. We’re proud to welcome their teams to the corporate organization as we continue building consistency, capability, and scale across the country.”

Ye added, “Our success in San Antonio has been built on trust and dependable service. Joining the Security 101 corporate family enables us to maintain our local focus while leveraging national resources and collaboration to better serve our customers.”

Froiland concluded, “The Minneapolis team is excited to join an organization that values innovation and operational excellence. With this partnership, we gain a broader platform to deliver even greater value and expertise to clients across the Midwest.”
