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 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.

The first OSPAs awards were held in Norway in 2015 and since then we have hosted events in other countries – and more are planned.  To view the countries that currently have OSPA awards schemes visit the global website.
