- Survey of 200+ global C-suite executives finds organizations
falling short of new ISO 31030 travel risk management standard,
putting travelers at risk
- Everbridge to present key findings this week at premier
security event in Birmingham, UK
Everbridge, Inc. (Nasdaq: EVBG), the global leader in critical
event management (CEM) and national public warning software
solutions, revealed findings today that only 24% of surveyed
organizations have a strong Travel Risk Management (TRM) program in
place as defined by TRM Standard ISO 31030. The results come from
the company’s year-long study of more than 200 global C-suite
executives. Additionally, only 21% of those surveyed feel that
their organizations have adequate measures in place to meet the
standard’s key requirements for travel safety.

“Addressing potential gaps in a company’s travel risk management
program is critical to successfully building a more resilient
workforce,” said Tracy Reinhold, Chief Security Officer at
Everbridge. “The good news is that the introduction of ISO 31030
has removed much of the guesswork in how to do that. But there is
still plenty of room for improvement as organizations seek to
mitigate risks and fulfill their duty of care. Even those in the
top category should ensure continuous reviews of their programs and
policies as risks consistently evolve.”
ISO 31030 is the officially recognized International Standard
for travel risk management, providing guidance on how to manage
risks to organizations and travelers. To help organizations
benchmark their travel risk programs against this standard and
identify any shortfalls, Everbridge developed Measuring Up Against
ISO 31030 – The Travel Risk Management Standard, an online survey
measuring the seven key areas of the standard: Understanding risk
context; Managing travel risk effectively; Travel risk assessment
and treatment; Incident response; Specialist support; Communication
and consultation; and Program monitoring and review.
Among the survey’s key findings:
- Only 24% of respondents have a solid travel risk management
program in place as defined by ISO 31030
- Only 27% of respondents have a clear understanding of their
organization’s risk profile
- Only 36% of respondents feel that their TRM policies are
aligned with other organizational policies
- Only 21% of respondents feel that adequate measures are in
place to safeguard travelers
- Only 19% feel that policies and procedures have been
effectively communicated and understood
- 81% believe their organization needs to improve the way their
TRM program is evaluated and reviewed
Adds Reinhold: “While risks associated with the global pandemic
dominated the attention of travel professionals for the last three
years, severe weather events and civil unrest now pose the biggest
threats to business travel. ISO guidance is a boon to travel
managers as it gives them a chance to evaluate their own programs
against industry standards. It is also a terrific opportunity to
review and refresh established TRM programs.”

Standard and its Impact on Travel Risk Mitigation.”
