Drew Neckar Named Global Outstanding Security Consultant by the Outstanding Security Performance Awards
Philadelphia— February 10, 2026 — Drew Neckar, CPP, CHPA, CPD, Principal Consultant at COSECURE, has been named the Global Outstanding Security Consultant by the Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs), becoming the first professional from the United States to receive this top global distinction.
The OSPAs are internationally recognized as the premier awards program in the security industry, honoring excellence in leadership, innovation, and measurable impact. Judged by independent panels of respected industry experts, the awards recognize individuals and organizations whose work demonstrably advances professional standards and strengthens safety and security outcomes worldwide. The Global Outstanding Security Consultant award represents the highest level of recognition within the program, reserved for consultants whose influence transcends national boundaries and meaningfully advances the profession on a global scale.
This global recognition follows Neckar’s earlier win at the U.S. Outstanding Security Consultant awards and places him among a select group of professionals acknowledged for shaping the future of security practice internationally.
With more than two decades of experience across healthcare, higher education, and enterprise risk environments, Neckar has built a career centered on proactive threat prevention, strategic security program development, and complex risk mitigation. His work has contributed to the development of national and international security standards, strengthened threat assessment and prevention practices, and helped organizations address evolving risk with clarity and confidence.
In addition to his consulting work, Neckar is widely respected for mentoring and developing the next generation of security leaders, reinforcing a culture of professionalism, accountability, and continuous improvement across the industry.
“This recognition is deeply meaningful because it reflects the collective progress of our profession toward more proactive, thoughtful, and prevention-focused security practices,” said Neckar. “I’m honored to be recognized by the OSPAs and grateful to work alongside clients and colleagues who are committed to protecting people, institutions, and communities through leadership, collaboration, and innovation.”
This global honor reflects not only Neckar’s individual achievement, but also the strength of COSECURE and Cozen O’Connor’s commitment to delivering trusted, experience-driven solutions to complex security and risk challenges worldwide.
