The Germany Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) event took place at Security Essen on 18th September 2024.

Security professionals gathered to celebrate the very best from across the sector with a presentation event and dinner.

This year the competition was extremely competitive and made the job of selecting the winners particularly challenging for the security experts who made up the judging panel. 

All those that were selected as finalists and winners demonstrated that they really are the best and should feel extremely proud.

The 2024 winners are:

Outstanding In-House Manager/Director
Oliver C. Fein – ESG

Outstanding Security Team
S&LP Team – Amazon

Outstanding Security Training Initiative
VR-Team – Securitas Sicherheitsfachschule

Outstanding New Security Product
QbProtect – Blickfeld

Outstanding Security Partnership
U-Bahnwache München (Securitas Deutschland und Stadtwerke München)

Lifetime Achievement
Holger Köster

An exciting new development for this year’s awards is that winners, except Lifetime Achievement, will go forward for the Global OSPAs – set to take place at the beginning of 2025, and the Lifetime Achievement winner will be inducted into the Security Hall of Fame.  

The event organisers would like to thank all those that helped make the event a success; Messe Essen and ASW for partnering with us, and the supporting organisations who nominated judges to represent them.
