The presentation of the 2020 German Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) took place virtually on Tuesday 15th December 2020 as part of an online Thought Leadership Webinar – ‘Germany and the security response to Covid-19: what have been the learning points?’ organised in partnership with ASW.
OSPA winners were selected by an esteemed panel of industry figures who judged entries using the same criteria which is applied across the world. Each winner demonstrated that they have performed at an exceptional level and has shown their commitment and outstanding performance within the security sector.
