The Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) recognise and reward companies and individuals across the security sector and operate in 15 countries. 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 of key factors that contribute to and characterise outstanding performance (Aspiring to Excellence – Perpetuity Research). The OSPAs have been set up in collaboration with security associations and groups around the world. OSPAs events are currently being hosted in Germany, Norway, Australia, USA, UK, Romania and Nigeria with new countries in the pipeline.
