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.

Keep computer passwords, desk keys, safe combinations 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 names, business cards or logo's to identify luggage.

Never leave your laptop or briefcase unattended.

Do not use a laptop computer for processing sensitive information in a public area.
