The Judges

The Security Buyer Awards stand as a testament to the rigorous standards and exemplary innovation in the security industry. Our panel of international judges at these awards are not just selected; they are chosen thanks to their knowledge, expertise and commitment to the industry.

Representing all areas of the industry, our judges contain knowledge on both physical and cyber security innovations, installer challenges as well as the changing demands of the end user and more. All judges are influencers in their respected fields who will offer invaluable guidance to submissions, ensuring the upholding of industry standards.

The judges’ role at the Security Buyer Awards will uphold integrity and maintain excellence. They will be responsible for judging submissions and entries and hand selecting those that meet our varied criteria, putting together shortlisted entries.

The Judges' Awards

At Security Buyer, we understand that excellence in the security industry takes many forms — from the innovation driving product development, to the frontline dedication of security personnel, to the strategic foresight of those leading policy, infrastructure, and operational resilience. The Security Buyer Awards 2025 are here to celebrate that full spectrum of achievement, recognising the companies, organisations, teams, individuals, and products that are redefining what success looks like in the global security landscape.

To ensure that all entries are assessed fairly, rigorously, and with the highest degree of integrity, we have assembled an external judging panel of esteemed experts drawn from across the global security sector. Each judge is carefully selected for their independent standing, deep expertise, and cross-disciplinary perspective. 

We invite you to share your story and success with us. Submissions are open for free to companies and professionals from across the world — regardless of size, sector, or geography. This is your opportunity to gain global recognition, demonstrate leadership, and celebrate the impact your work is having in building a safer, more secure future.

Entry Deadline: Make sure you’re part of this prestigious international recognition. Submit your entry by the 30th of September 2025 to be considered.
