The Security Institute

Awards


The Institute encourages and recognises excellence, as a part of its commitment to professional development and raising awareness of good security. It has developed an annual Awards Ceremony, where individuals and companies going the extra mile are recognised, and where its own Awards are presented.

As of 2023, the Institute presents ten different awards:

  1. Outstanding Contribution to Security Award’ in memory of George van Schalkwyk
    This award will recognise a Security Institute member who has demonstrated an outstanding contribution to the security profession.
  2. The Security Institute Award In Memory of ‘Odette Hallowes’
    This award will recognise an individual or team who have contributed significantly to the security of others: this maybe a posthumous award or for a living individual/team.
