In this episode of The Securityguy’d Podcast, we unpack the critical role of standards, training and compliance within South Africa’s private security industry.
Joined by Lorindo Bouwer, Regional Training Manager at Fidelity Services Group, this conversation provides valuable insight into how structured training, proper certification, and ongoing professional development shape the effectiveness of security personnel across the country.
From entry-level guards to specialised armed response officers, we explore:
- The importance of accredited training and industry standards
- Common compliance challenges faced by security companies
- The risks associated with inadequate or fraudulent certification
- The realities of working in high-risk security roles
- Career growth opportunities within the private security sector
Lorindo also shares his personal journey — from starting in the industry in 1997 to leading training operations today — highlighting the discipline, resilience, and continuous development required to succeed in private security.
This episode offers a grounded, real-world perspective for:
- Security professionals looking to grow in the industry
