Raymond Balinda

I'm a security-cleared, trusted adviser and independent data security specialist who has been helping enterprise organisations solve their biggest compliance, security, operational, and BAU problems.

My mission is simply to inspire others to exceed their expectations by leading with integrity and credibility. The integrity part stems from the fact that I believe I am an honest man with strong moral principles, which I believe is the fundamental element in building lasting and trusting relationships with prospects, colleagues, clients, and partners. The credibility part is ensuring that what I do and say is of the highest quality, convincing and believable.

This is where the knowledge and experience I have gathered over many years of working in the industry with large global enterprises come into play. I have led and delivered many successful security projects to a large variety of Enterprise Customers Globally up to and over 180,000 employees. From proof of concepts, and requests for proposals/information to providing health checks, professional consultancy services, assessments, training, security guidance, project management, and software delivery.

I’m a results-driven and highly analytical professional with a strong background in data protection, governance, assurance, and compliance (GRC). Demonstrated expertise in providing strategic insights and recommendations to enhance operational efficiency and mitigate risks. Skilled in conducting thorough business process analysis, identifying areas for improvement, and implementing effective solutions.
