Please consult International SOS for the very latest ratings and more detailed information on country-specific risks. All risk ratings shown are taken in November 2016.

Understanding what the risks are at a destination and then taking appropriate precautions is the best way for an organisation to support their people, enable business growth and deliver on Duty of Care.


RISK ratings 


  • Countries and regional travel security risks are rated ‘Extreme’, ‘High’, ‘Medium’, ‘Low’, or ‘Insignificant’.
  • There are variable levels of travel security risks within countries. Mexico, Egypt, India, and Ukraine are examples of generally ‘Medium’ travel risk ratings, which have higher risk ratings in specific regions with that country.
  • Countries are assigned a medical risk rating of ‘Low’, ‘Medium’, ‘High’, ’Very High’, or ‘Rapidly Developing Variable Risk’.
  • The interactive map features include drill-down capabilities to see specific zones within countries that have a higher travel security risk rating, and city/country search functionality. The interactive map is freely available to clients and media to embed in their websites and to share the information and educate travellers.
