FAQ

How do country information help risk prevention?

Country information provide a first overview about the risk profile of a country. Reading the information will give you a first indication if travelling to the place is dangerous for you or not. It also recommends the implementation of specific risk mitigation measures to reduce the risks for your travel.

Where do the data come from?

Country and city risk layers as well as incidents are the outcome of the EXOP team’s work. All the security information is peer-reviewed by analysts. Business and corruption layers are derived from publicly available sources (e.g. World Bank etc.). The foreign ministry digest is calculated by an average of the respective country risk ratings by key foreign ministries incl. UK, US, Germany, Australia, France etc.

Is the country information up to date?

Our aim is to provide updates in real time. All content is updated automatically and in all languages as soon as key information e.g. security risk levels have been verified and changed by EXOP’s analysts. Technology now is doing most of the jobs, editors and translators used to do in the past.
