We are proud to announce:
That André Mundell, founder of Alwinco and a pioneer in independent security risk assessment in South Africa, has been officially named a finalist for the 2025 Southern Africa Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs).
Direct quote from OSPA’s website
“The Security Hall of Fame recognizes security professionals who have excelled at what they do. They are judged over a career; they are all winners of the OSPAs Lifetime Achievement awards across countries and regions. These professionals have been recognized by experts in the areas where they have worked. The judges were nominated by the leading security associations and interest groups; they all agreed to mark the entries they received according to a published ethics policy, and they were required to declare a conflict of interest on every entry they assessed. We are delighted to recognize the best of the best.”
The OSPAs are internationally respected accolades that recognize outstanding performance and leadership in the security industry.
Judged by independent panels of experts across various regions, finalists are selected based on innovation, impact, ethical practices, and long-term contributions to advancing security standards. This honor not only acknowledges André’s career-long commitment to unbiased and practical security solutions but also reinforces Alwinco’s standing as a leader in security risk assessment both locally and internationally.
Unlike traditional security consulting,
Alwinco’s methodology is rooted in the criminal’s viewpoint, identifying true risks, exposing vulnerabilities, and helping our clients implement meaningful, evidence-driven control measures. This nomination is a direct reflection of the integrity, independence, and depth of expertise we bring to every assessment.
We share this milestone with you to reaffirm our ongoing commitment to uncovering real risks, challenging outdated systems, and providing strategic, long-term security insight that goes far beyond ticking boxes or recommending equipment.
We look forward to working with you and thank you for considering Alwinco as your independent security risk assessment partner.
The announcement has been uploaded to the OSPAs website.
