Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan and the Central African Republic have been named as among the most dangerous countries to visit from an extreme security risk perspective, according to a risk map compiled by security and health risk services company, International SOS. Countries that have a “high” security risk include: Mali, Ethiopia, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Pakistan, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, Venezuela, Haiti and Honduras. Other increases in the company’s security risk ratings include New Caledonia, which increased from low to medium due to long-term impact of social unrest, economic decline, and related crime. “Using data-driven tools is critical for organisations to maintain their Duty of Care responsibilities and protect their workforce, whether their employees are travelling or working domestically.” Countries that were deemed the safest countries in the world from a security risk point of view include Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Morocco and Vietnam among others.
