Marc Burrows, Head of Global Mobility Services

 

Wifi hotspots, digital purchases, social media posts. There are hundreds of digital data crumbs left behind by business travellers that increasingly create security risks at home and abroad as well as compliance exposures in the destination country. Authorities are using this information to identify non-compliance with employment conditions, tax, immigration and laws governing social behaviour. Enforcement activities, penalties and sanctions for infringements have become more aggressive in many markets. Criminals are also using traveller’s digital information to plan more calculated attacks.
