Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non­governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

Introduction

This document is intended to assist those managing and participating in organizational travel. The

management of travel risk is a component of any organization’s travel-related activities and should

include interaction with stakeholders.

There are many reasons why people travel for their organization. Travelling has increasingly become

a common feature of people’s jobs or functions. Consequently, organizations need to meet their duty of

care across multiple jurisdictions in different parts of the world.

Travellers, whether international or domestic, can be faced with unfamiliar situations and environments

that have different risk profiles to those of their normal location. Road accidents, disease outbreaks,

epidemics and natural disasters, as well as conflict, crime (including cyber and information), cyber

threats, terrorism and political and socially motivated instability, can threaten the safety, security

(including information security) and health (including mental health) of travellers, and can adversely

affect the outcome of their travel objectives.

NOTE Unless otherwise indicated, any reference to security also includes information security.

Managing risks for travel to a country where the organization has no local base requires more

comprehensive controls than for locations where risk profiles are well known and treatments have

already been established. Timeliness and accuracy of intelligence, analysis and advice, including travel

warnings, are increasingly important in influencing travel decisions.

Travel risk management (TRM) requires that organizations anticipate and assess the potential for

events, develop treatments and communicate anticipated risk exposures to their travellers. Advising

and providing travellers with adequate medical, emergency response guidance, security and

information security precautions, including challenges to travel logistics, can significantly impact the

outcome of disruptive events.

This document provides a means for organizations to demonstrate that travel decisions are based on

the organization’s capacity to treat risk using internal resources or with external assistance. Not all

travel warrants the same level of rigour for risk assessment and management. Although this document

provides a comprehensive set of risk treatment options that an organization can consider, application

should be reasoned and proportionate to the risk exposure. This will help the organization and

individual travellers realize the opportunities and benefits for which travel is required.

This document proposes that the organization’s overall appetite and acceptance of risk should not take

precedence, or be used exclusively, in deciding whether travel is appropriate for security, safety or

health reasons.

This document is based on the principles, framework and process of ISO 31000, as illustrated in

Figure 1. Travel-related risk presents a specific context and an organization’s existing risk management

process may need to be adapted to reflect this. It is also aligned with the core occupational health and

safety management system set out in ISO 45001. As such, elements of this document can assist or inform

organizations developing such management systems, but it is not a management system standard.

This document can be used on a standalone basis or integrated within other risk management

programmes.

Figure 1 — Principles, framework and process

One of the aims of this document is to promote a culture where travel-related risk is taken seriously,

resourced adequately, and managed effectively. And where the benefits to the organization and relevant

stakeholders are recognized. Such benefits include:
— protecting personnel, data, intellectual property and assets;
— reducing legal and financial exposure;
— enabling business in high-risk locations;

— enhancing an organization’s reputation and credibility, which in turn can have a positive effect on

competitiveness, staff turnover and talent acquisition;

— improving worker confidence in health, safety and security arrangements with regard to travel;

— contributing to business continuity capability and organizational resilience;

— demonstrating the organization’s ability to control its travel-related risks effectively and efficiently,

which can also help in lowering its insurance premiums;

— providing assurance to business partners, thus banks and investors will be more willing to finance

its business;

— enabling the organization to meet customers’ expectations in terms of the security and stability of

their supply chain;
— increasing general productivity;

— contributing to meeting the sustainable development goals by strengthening the social dimension

of sustainability.

Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non­governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

Introduction

This document is intended to assist those managing and participating in organizational travel. The

management of travel risk is a component of any organization’s travel-related activities and should

include interaction with stakeholders.

There are many reasons why people travel for their organization. Travelling has increasingly become

a common feature of people’s jobs or functions. Consequently, organizations need to meet their duty of

care across multiple jurisdictions in different parts of the world.

Travellers, whether international or domestic, can be faced with unfamiliar situations and environments

that have different risk profiles to those of their normal location. Road accidents, disease outbreaks,

epidemics and natural disasters, as well as conflict, crime (including cyber and information), cyber

threats, terrorism and political and socially motivated instability, can threaten the safety, security

(including information security) and health (including mental health) of travellers, and can adversely

affect the outcome of their travel objectives.

NOTE Unless otherwise indicated, any reference to security also includes information security.

Managing risks for travel to a country where the organization has no local base requires more

comprehensive controls than for locations where risk profiles are well known and treatments have

already been established. Timeliness and accuracy of intelligence, analysis and advice, including travel

warnings, are increasingly important in influencing travel decisions.

Travel risk management (TRM) requires that organizations anticipate and assess the potential for

events, develop treatments and communicate anticipated risk exposures to their travellers. Advising

and providing travellers with adequate medical, emergency response guidance, security and

information security precautions, including challenges to travel logistics, can significantly impact the

outcome of disruptive events.

This document provides a means for organizations to demonstrate that travel decisions are based on

the organization’s capacity to treat risk using internal resources or with external assistance. Not all

travel warrants the same level of rigour for risk assessment and management. Although this document

provides a comprehensive set of risk treatment options that an organization can consider, application

should be reasoned and proportionate to the risk exposure. This will help the organization and

individual travellers realize the opportunities and benefits for which travel is required.

This document proposes that the organization’s overall appetite and acceptance of risk should not take

precedence, or be used exclusively, in deciding whether travel is appropriate for security, safety or

health reasons.

This document is based on the principles, framework and process of ISO 31000, as illustrated in

Figure 1. Travel-related risk presents a specific context and an organization’s existing risk management

process may need to be adapted to reflect this. It is also aligned with the core occupational health and

safety management system set out in ISO 45001. As such, elements of this document can assist or inform

organizations developing such management systems, but it is not a management system standard.

This document can be used on a standalone basis or integrated within other risk management

programmes.

Figure 1 — Principles, framework and process

One of the aims of this document is to promote a culture where travel-related risk is taken seriously,

resourced adequately, and managed effectively. And where the benefits to the organization and relevant

stakeholders are recognized. Such benefits include:
— protecting personnel, data, intellectual property and assets;
— reducing legal and financial exposure;
— enabling business in high-risk locations;

— enhancing an organization’s reputation and credibility, which in turn can have a positive effect on

competitiveness, staff turnover and talent acquisition;

— improving worker confidence in health, safety and security arrangements with regard to travel;

— contributing to business continuity capability and organizational resilience;

— demonstrating the organization’s ability to control its travel-related risks effectively and efficiently,

which can also help in lowering its insurance premiums;

— providing assurance to business partners, thus banks and investors will be more willing to finance

its business;

— enabling the organization to meet customers’ expectations in terms of the security and stability of

their supply chain;
— increasing general productivity;

— contributing to meeting the sustainable development goals by strengthening the social dimension

of sustainability.
