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 an outstanding performer, whether buyer or supplier 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. The OSPAs are being set-up in collaboration with security associations and groups across many countries.

These awards are being initiated in different countries with the aim that the OSPAs become a key event on the security calendar. By standardising these awards across different countries the aim is to branch out across the world and in time to have companies competing for a World OSPA.

The first OSPAs schemes are running in Norway, Australia and Germany.

We are also currently in discussions with several other countries about setting up an OSPAs scheme. If you would like to discuss having an OSPAs scheme in your country please contact us.

You can follow us on twitter @theospas and we encourage everyone to sign up to our newsletter for updates about the awards, but also to receive tips about how to achieve outstanding performance.
