From the CEO

Raymund E. Liboro

Privacy and Security by Design (PSbD), Inc. was founded with a bold vision: to build trust in today’s data-driven world. As the Philippines’ first Privacy Commissioner, I have seen firsthand how the responsible use of data can improve lives, strengthen institutions, and uphold human dignity.

​

At PSbD, we believe trust is the new currency of the digital age. That’s why we go beyond offering services—we design secure, ethical, and people-centered digital environments.

​

Thank you for joining us in shaping a future where privacy, security, and innovation work hand in hand for the benefit of all.

​

From launching landmark initiatives like Project NOAH and STARBOOKS to championing data privacy as the Philippines’ first Privacy Commissioner, Raymund E. Liboro has built a legacy of innovation, integrity, and public service. As PSbD's CEO, he continues to shape the digital landscape for a safer, more ethical future.
