The Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) – sponsored by TEAM Software – have today announced the finalists of the 2nd Ireland OSPAs.
The independent awards were first held in Ireland last year to recognise companies, people, products and initiatives that make a significant contribution to the Irish security sector. The judges were selected by the leading security associations in Ireland, they all signed up to an ethics policy and they all declared any conflict of interest on every mark sheet.
