Why Every Company Needs a Travel Security Program

In today’s heightened geopolitical climate, business travel is no longer a routine operational necessity — it’s a strategic exposure. Whether you’re operating across six continents or sending one specialist to a trade show abroad, travel carries risk. Corporate espionage, digital surveillance, regional conflicts, and border scrutiny are no longer fringe concerns — they’re frontline considerations.

From global enterprises with sprawling footprints to lean small and midsize firms entering new markets, the reality is clear: If your people cross borders, your business is crossing into risk...

No matter the scale of your company, essential components of a travel security program should include:

• Pre-travel risk assessments.

• Digital hygiene and hardware protocols.

• Cultural and geopolitical briefings: Equip travelers with current situational awareness — legal norms, surveillance practices, and sociopolitical sensitivities.
• Traveler support channels: Offer 24/7 access to assistance for emergencies, device issues, or detainment.
• Documentation and transparency: Publish clear travel policies and make them inclusive. more
