| | Inform colleagues and staff not to release information about your travel and business itinerary to unauthorised personnel or strangers. |
| | Wealthy business people and those working for high profile multi-national companies who travel to 'high-risk' countries, should consider arranging special kidnap, ransom and extortion insurance. |
| | Check that your company has arranged proper travel insurance. If not, or if the insurance does not provide sufficient cover, arrange your own. |
| | Personnel files should be closely guarded as this information can be used to kidnap a person for monetary or financial gain. |
| | Do not use a laptop computer for processing sensitive information in public areas. |
| | Keep computer passwords, safe combinations, desk keys and important company information in a 'secure' place - not in your hotel room. |
| | Do not open any package or envelope sent to your hotel room, unless you know the sender and are expecting the package. |
| | Before opening the door to your hotel room, call reception to check the identity of the person and their reason for calling. |
| | Avoid using company logos, names or business cards to identify luggage. |
| | Never leave your laptop or briefcase unattended. |
