About
I’m Mia Wexford, an Australian IT expert specialising in cybersecurity, VPN development, and digital privacy. My mission is to help individuals, families, and organisations navigate the internet safely while maintaining full control over their data.
Education
I graduated from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), where I studied Information Technology with a focus on network security and systems architecture. My academic training provided a solid foundation, but hands-on experience has been key to developing my expertise in secure network design and privacy-focused solutions.

2012–2016: IT Security Consultant for small and medium businesses across Melbourne. Implemented security frameworks, conducted vulnerability assessments, and trained staff on cybersecurity best practices.
2016–Present: Independent Security Consultant and Educator, specialising in VPN technologies and privacy solutions for individuals and families. Deliver personalised consultations, security audits, educational content, and ongoing research into emerging threats and digital resilience.
Advocacy and Education
I am actively involved in Australian privacy advocacy, contributing to public consultations on data retention laws, participating in cybersecurity forums, and working with privacy-focused organisations. My goal is to make secure internet practices accessible and understandable for everyone.
Current Focus
Today, I continue to develop privacy-centric solutions, focusing on VPN technologies that ensure secure, fast, and user-friendly online experiences. My work is guided by the belief that strong digital protection should be seamless and part of everyday life.
