Entry process now open for UK Outstanding Security Performance Awards 2021

The OSPAs is an independent global awards scheme currently running in no less than 13 countries. The scheme is designed to be inclusive, providing an opportunity for outstanding performers to be recognised and their success to be celebrated.

Professor Martin Gill CSyP FSyI (pictured, right), founder of the OSPAs and director of Perpetuity Research, explained: “I encourage everyone working in the sector to submit at least one nomination. All-too-often, security operates under the radar. The OSPAs provide the opportunity to highlight and promote the pioneering work that’s being carried out.”
