Joseph Clarke

Security Buyer Editor

A linguist by training and a passionate advocate for modern languages, Joseph Clarke began his professional journey in education, teaching English as a Second Language in both Spain and Ecuador. It was during this period that he was commissioned to write educational content for Oxford University Press – a formative moment that ignited his passion for writing.

Following successful contributions to both Oxford University Press and travel publisher Lonely Planet, Joseph transitioned into full-time editorial work, merging his flair for writing with a lifelong enthusiasm for food, particularly baking. Today, he serves as the Assistant Editor of Security Buyer, a leading publication for professionals in the global Security industry.

In his role, Joseph curates, writes, and edits content for both the print and digital editions of International Security Buyer. He also assists with the magazine’s external partnerships, collaborations, and brand strategy.

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.
