About
The Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) recognise and reward companies and individuals across the security sector. The OSPAs are designed to be both independent and inclusive, providing an opportunity for outstanding performers, whether buyers or suppliers to be recognised and their success to be celebrated.
The criteria for these awards are based on extensive research on key factors that contribute to and characterise outstanding performance (Aspiring to Excellence – Perpetuity Research). The OSPAs are being set up in collaboration with security associations and groups across many countries.
Our Vision
In future, award winners from each country will be eligible to enter an international awards scheme – The World OSPAs.
The OSPAs are the only global system for recognising outstanding performance in the security industry.
The awards are:
- Independent, credible, respectable and transparent.
- A way to drive outstanding performance in the security sector – recognising and promoting the work of individuals and organisations who achieve excellence
- Based on extensive international research into the factors which drive outstanding security performance
- Built upon comprehensive research into best practice in award schemes, to ensure a solid and enduring foundation.
- An opportunity to bring together security personnel and associations across a country and also, in future, provide a focal point for the security sector worldwide.
