The finalists for the 2025 Ireland OSPAs have now been revealed! The Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) recognise and reward companies, people and innovation across the security sector. The OSPAs are designed to be both independent and inclusive, providing an opportunity for exceptional performers, whether buyers or suppliers, to be acknowledged and their success to be celebrated.
The awards are founded on strong ethical principles and are actively supported by numerous key industry bodies and special interest groups. These organisations nominate judges to represent them, including the Emergency Management Institute Ireland (EMII), Security Institute of Ireland, The Institute of Strategic Risk Management (ISRM) and International Foundation for Protection Officers (IFPO).
This year’s Ireland OSPAs awards ceremony will take place on 23rd May 2025 in Dublin, where we will announce this years’ winners.
Following the success of last year, winners from all categories (except Lifetime Achievement) of the 2025 Ireland OSPAs will be featured in the 2026 Global OSPAs! Winners will automatically qualify for the global competition.
The winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award will be inducted into the newly launched Security Hall of Fame. Learn more about this here.
