August 5, 2026 – Atlanta, GA – Protos Security, the leading software-enabled managed security services provider delivering integrated protection solutions across North America, is proud to announce that it has been selected as a finalist for the 2026 U.S. Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) in the Outstanding Contract Security Company (Guarding) category. The winners will be recognized on September 13, 2026, during the Global Security Exchange (GSX) Conference in Atlanta.
The U.S. OSPAs recognize organizations, teams and individuals who demonstrate exceptional performance, innovation and professionalism across the security industry. Finalists are selected through an independent judging process led by experienced security professionals and evaluated against consistent, research-based criteria that emphasize measurable performance, leadership and industry impact.
Being named a finalist in the Outstanding Contract Security Company (Guarding) category for the second year in a row reflects Protos’ continued commitment to redefining the security industry through a software-enabled managed services provider (MSP) model. Rather than relying on a traditional branch-based approach, Protos combines a nationwide network of carefully vetted local security providers, the industry’s largest off-duty law enforcement network and proprietary software to deliver scalable, accountable security programs.
“We’re very proud of this one. Being named an OSPA finalist two years running tells us the model we bet on, data-driven, software-enabled, relentlessly focused on the client, is where the industry is headed,” said Peter Platten, Chief Revenue Officer at Protos Security. “That’s a credit to every person and partner who makes it real.”
Over the past year, Protos has continued to expand its software-enabled security platform with new AI-powered capabilities that provide clients with faster access to operational intelligence, greater visibility into service performance and actionable insights across their security programs. Combined with national reach and local execution, these innovations help organizations improve staffing reliability, strengthen accountability and make more informed security decisions.
The recognition follows another year of significant growth for Protos as the company celebrates its 20th anniversary of delivering innovative security solutions across North America.
