The Cyber Outstanding Security Performance Awards (Cyber OSPAs) recognise and highlight outstanding performance by companies, people, products and initiatives across the cyber security sector globally. 

The Cyber OSPAs have been designed to be ethical, and are based on values of being independent, credible, transparent and respectable. 

The judges are nominated by global supporting associations;  all the judges agree to mark to an ethics policy; the judges mark independently against published criteria.

The Cyber OSPAs are based on equivalent awards; the Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs), for the physical and corporate security sector, and the Tackling Economic Crime Awards (TECAs), both of which are renowned in their fields.
