Certification Reach:

OSDP Verified™:

“The OSDP Verified Testing is well worth it – our customers want that assurance that their products will be able to interoperate with other OSDP Verified products.”

– Rick Focke, Director of Product Management, Enterprise Access Control, Johnson Controls

“OSDP enables vendors to achieve seamless interoperability, giving customers the confidence to design integrated and intelligent solutions that work together as intended. The OSDP Verified mark ensures that our SABRE Module, along with our range of IoT sensors, meets this high standard of interoperability.”

– Jason Hart, Founder and CEO, Safetrust

“At Hanwha Vision, we committed our entire product line to the SIA OSDP Verified™ program because true innovation means ensuring our technology works seamlessly in real-world deployments. The rigorous third-party validation gives our integrator partners the confidence to specify our solutions, knowing they’ll be fully interoperable from day one. Supporting open standard certifications like OSDP Verified™ isn’t just good business- it’s how we advance the entire security industry toward better, more dependable solutions.”

– Matthew Netardus, Global Senior Product Manager, Hanwha Vision America

OSDP Bootcamp:

“The design engineers, ACS technicians and project leaders of MC Dean were impressed with [the] detailed approach to the standards development, verification, implementation, and troubleshooting of OSDP technology. The hands-on portion of the training was well received, and we walked away feeling better informed and able to impact and deliver customer projects.”

– Jeff Ferk, MC Dean
