Travel Security & Travel Risk Management | Corporate Security

Specific risk preventions for employees in crisis zones, as well as quick and expert support in the event of an emergency, are all part of our comprehensive travel security solutions.

Our services include:

Optimal preparation ensures safe journeys around the world.

As the world becomes more globalized, business travel is becoming more common. Furthermore, the global security situation is becoming increasingly uncertain, as government systems in various nations become increasingly ineffectual, and climate change appears to be causing an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events. In addition to consulting for travel risk management, SSM-OPS also provides training for staff on how to deal with scenarios that could cause a significant problem for the traveler and, as a result, put the entire business trip in jeopardy. A properly-trained employee will be significantly less vulnerable to frequent pitfalls and traps since he or she will be far more informed and alert, and therefore well equipped against the odds. The contracting company therefore clearly meets its duty of care to the traveling employee and hence exhibits a strong interest in their safety.

Conduct and safety trainings for international business travelers

Customized trainings teach travelers about basic travel safety risks. They are aimed for all personnel who will be sent abroad and who are or may become exposed to increased dangers, particularly those who will be deployed into high-risk areas.

The intimate merging of theory classes and practical exercises is very important to us. The backbone of our trainings is guided interactive work on themes with participants, as well as scenario trainings. Contemporary hazards, threats, and related perpetrator techniques, as well as current scientific findings from stress research and perceptual psychology, will be addressed in the content. Many clients choose in-house trainings because they can more easily gather their personnel at a time that is convenient for them. Aside from that, in-house trainings allow the sending party, the employer, to incorporate their own travel organization’s demands and appropriate guidelines, resulting in a tailored training package for their staff.

Course contents include:

• By interpreting existing data, a realistic evaluation of hazards abroad can be made
• Preparation and security for travel
• Aspects of security in relation to the utilization of local infrastructure
• In conflict and high-stress situations, the behavior of both the offender and the victim is important
• In the event of criminal acts, public demonstrations, or political upheaval, maintain a safe environment
• Security forces and other authorities, as well as irregular groups, conduct checks and controls
• Training on situational awareness and how to operate properly in particular scenarios
