Free live travel risk map covering multiple countries

August 2026 News & Events, Security Services & Risk Management

Sicuro Group announced its free public access to the Sicuro Live Travel Risk Map, an interactive world map showing current travel risk levels for more than 240 countries and territories, refreshed automatically every 30 minutes. The map is available now at https://freetravelriskmap.sicurogroup.com, with no registration and no paywall.

Most widely cited travel risk maps are published once a year as static documents, but risk conditions do not follow a publishing calendar. The Sicuro map draws on official travel advisories from the US Department of State, the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, France Diplomatie, and Germany's Federal Foreign Office, combining them into a composite four-level rating for every destination, from Level 1 (exercise normal precautions) to Level 4 (do not travel).

Live natural disaster alerts from GDACS and disease outbreak news from the World Health Organisation are layered onto the same map, and every rating is calculated using a documented, openly published methodology.

The case for live data played out in the first quarter of 2026, when conditions in parts of the Middle East changed faster than any annual publication could reflect. During that period, Sicuro coordinated the safe relocation and departure of 4000 employees on behalf of client organisations and supported more than 10 000 others to remain in the region and continue business as usual.

"Travel risk intelligence has been sold as a premium product for years, yet the underlying advisories are issued by governments and published openly," said Rafal Hyps, chief executive officer of Sicuro Group. "We have aggregated those sources, applied a transparent methodology, and structured the output to ISO 31030. That intelligence layer is now free for everyone. Our paid work begins where information ends, when an organisation needs advice, support on the ground, or a response at three in the morning."

"The first quarter of this year was a reminder that risk levels can change between breakfast and lunch," said Scott Wilcox, founder of Sicuro Group. "A map printed in January cannot tell you what to do in June. Every rating on this map is recalculated throughout the day from official government sources, and the methodology is published for anyone to inspect."

For any destination, users can generate a free, downloadable pre-travel risk assessment aligned with ISO 31030:2021, the international standard for travel risk management, covering security threats, natural hazards, health, insurance considerations, duty of care, and emergency procedures. The map also offers side-by-side comparison of destinations, sub-national markers for regions rated above their national level, and a dedicated page for every country and territory.
