Travel Security Programme Optimisation
Looking to improve and identify costs savings in your travel security programmes?
We can review your existing travel security programmes and identify areas for improvement and cost savings. Alternatively, if your organisation doesn't have a travel security programme, we can assist you to build one from the ground up.
Our approach to designing travel security programs is based on ISO 31030:2021 Travel Risk Management. We also adhere to international best practices.
Journey Management Planning
Need to get your people safely into and out of a higher-risk location without incident?
We can help you assess the risks and come up with a comprehensive journey management plan that will incorporate arrival protocols, ground transport, accommodation, communications, medical and contingency planning. We'll provide impartial advice that ensures the optimum approach to safeguard your people.
