FREE GUIDE: Personified’s IT & Cybersecurity Travel Guide for Mission-Driven Teams

Preparing for travel isn’t what it used to be. Beyond flight delays and possible jet lag, there’s also unsecured wifi, device theft, and (depending on the destination) active surveillance to consider. 

We put together this free travel security guide because we want mission-driven teams to have a clear, practical starting point before their next trip. This is meant to be something you and/or your team can reference before traveling, so folks are both prepared and secure. Important to note, this is not meant to cover every possible scenario. Every trip, role, and risk level is different, but we hope it gives you a strong baseline. 

Inside you’ll find:

1. Everyday habits – simple IT precautions that apply anywhere, from a coffee shop across town to a flight across the globe.
2. Standard travel security – the baseline steps (updates, passwords, encryption) that protect against common threats like device theft and unsecured networks.
3. High-risk travel protocols – additional precautions for destinations with elevated surveillance or political risk, including guidance on minimizing data and using travel devices.
4. Border crossing and VPN guidance – what to know before you’re asked to unlock a device, and how to evaluate VPN options for your destination. 

Take what’s useful, adapt it to your organization’s risk tolerance, and make sure your team knows where to find it before they travel. And if your team needs a more tailored travel security plan, that’s what we’re here for. Reach out to us!
