Nominations for the 2023 Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) in six categories have been extended and entries can be submitted until 18 April 2023.

The 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 outstanding performers, whether buyers or suppliers, to be recognised and their success to be celebrated.

The South African OSPAs are supported by Electronic Security Distributors Association (ESDA), The South African Intruder Detection Services Association (SAIDSA), SASA (Security Association of South Africa), TAPA AMERICAS & ASIS International (South African Chapter).
