Overseas Security

VDI’s companion company, Overseas Security LLC, is dedicated to providing timely and accurate information to anyone traveling or permanently working abroad. Our objective is to provide the best security information available from any source in an easily accessible format. From our perspective, too many companies fail to put security information into context -- after all, what you really want to know is "What do I need to do to make my travel safer, how does that incident affect me, and what should I do if something does happen?" Our goal is to facilitate safe travel, not impede it.

So how are we different? We have a team of dedicated, former CIA intelligence analysts with international expertise, who review in-country security incidents on a daily basis and make that information available on the web, via email alerts, and soon through innovative push technology directly to your phone, PDA, or outlook file. This data is supplemented and corroborated though our in-country network of sources in the government, military, and security services. Our analysts also provide comprehensive country security reports that cover scams and crimes specific to your area of travel and which provide specific recommendations and contact numbers for hotels, approved taxi services, help lines, and other local resources. These reports offer substantive details on the security environment in country and cover differing aspects of crime in capital cities and tourist areas.

In addition to issues involving security, safety, personal protection, and in-country news and alerts, Overseas Security® offers a variety of support services to help make your tour abroad safer and more comfortable. On each country page you will find information and important links to country information useful in your trip planning, so you don’t have to go anywhere else to obtain the data you need.

Finally, because of its association with VDI, companies and travelers have access to more than just travel information. In a real emergency, VDI and its staff are just one click or call away, ready to provide available resources for flyaway crisis management support on a negotiated or retainer fee basis.
