International SOS is the world leader in preventative travel risk management and emergency assistance services, protecting millions from health and security threats every day. International SOS provides global solutions to ensure the health and security of your students and employees, as well as your organisation’s reputation. Our core resilience services offering is organised around 3 pillars:
• Assessing the risks through the delivery of on demand intelligence and situation monitoring. Ground truthing of intelligence and advice is at the heart of our commitment to quality in an era of misinformation. Our analysts are not just scanning aggregated news sources, we verify with our own employees and providers on the ground the information we are receiving to ensure accuracy, and cultural context to help managers make informed decisions. Understanding the reality on the ground cannot be over-stated especially in natural disasters, health situations in developing countries or during times of political unrest in state controlled media environments.
• Advising on the appropriate risk or stress mitigation strategies through direct access to our health and security experts and app -based support. It is like having 13,000 multilingual health and security experts following your students and employees wherever they are.
