Travel risk management

Travel risks aren’t always dramatic. But they’re always real.
Every day, business travellers face challenges that can disrupt plans and put pressure on your teams. Someone falls ill abroad in a hospital that doesn’t meet your standards, with no easy way to help. Another gets caught in a protest that turns violent, and you don’t know where they are or how to reach them.
These aren’t rare risks. They catch many organisations unprepared.
Travel risk management means knowing who’s travelling, where and why - then setting up protections that keep them safe as situations change. What matters is how fast you respond in these moments of truth, how clear your plans are, and how well your people are supported when it counts.
Travel risk and your duty of care
Your travel risk programme needs to be active, tailored, and ready to protect your people - and your business - when things go off-script. Whether you lead a global security team or juggle travel risk alongside other roles, you need support that matches your risk profile, resources and scale. Some clients use our full programme. Others take only what they need.
It all starts with a travel risk policy
A clear travel risk policy helps your teams stay safe and your business stay protected.
We help you create a policy that fits your organisation – how you work, where you operate, and how much risk you’re prepared to take. We meet with you to understand your culture, footprint and goals. Then we shape a practical policy based on real-world needs, aligned with ISO 31030.
It covers every stage of travel – before, during and after – with clear guidance for travellers, managers and support teams. We use a structured process to assess risk levels and apply the right measures, so the policy works day to day, not just on paper.

Are you really covered? The questions you need to ask
Most organisations think their travel risk programme works - until it doesn’t.
If any of these raise doubts, your programme has gaps
That’s why we’ve teamed up with GSA Global to offer a free, independent ISO 31030 self-assessment - so you can see exactly where you stand, with no cost or commitment. Just clarity to help you decide what to tackle next.
Real results from real clients
When TetraPak partnered with Healix International and GSA Global, they faced the same challenges you do - rising risks, complex duty of care, and pressure to protect their people globally.
Together, we built a tailored, ISO 31030-aligned travel risk programme that put employee safety front and centre - reducing incidents and increasing confidence across their teams.
