Global Support & Travel Risk

Local when you need us here, global when you don’t.
1834 is based in Texas, but our experience and perspective are global. Our team’s background includes law enforcement, civil affairs, emergency management, and global security/emergency operations centers for major corporations across multiple industries.
We’ve been involved in managing true international incidents and large-scale disasters—experience that now guide how we support clients whose people, cases, or operations don’t stop at a state or national line.
We’re not a “t-shirt security” company trying to talk big about the world. We understand what global risk feels like when it hits real people and real operations.

How We Think About Global Risk

Global risk isn’t just about scary headlines in another country. We look at:

  • Where your people are, and how visible or vulnerable they are

  • How your operations, vendors, and data are spread across regions

  • What could realistically disrupt your plans—travel, projects, or day-to-day business

Our job is to turn “we’re not sure what’s out there” into a clearer picture and concrete options,
whether you’re dealing with cross-border work from Austin or moving people around the world.

Cross-Border Investigations & Due Diligence

When your decisions involve other countries’ people, partners, or entities, you need more than a basic search.
We assist with:

  • Investigative due diligence on foreign companies and individuals

  • Integrity, reputation, and red-flag checks across jurisdictions

  • Fact-finding that respects local realities and legal frameworks

 

We don’t pretend every country works the same. We help you understand:

  • What is known

  • What is likely

  • Where the gray areas are

So, leadership, counsel, or investors can make decisions with eyes open, not blind optimism.

Support for Distributed & International Teams

Modern teams are rarely in one office or one country. That creates opportunity—and exposure.
We help organizations:

  • Think through risk for staff in different cities, countries, or regions

  • Understand how local conditions, crime, or unrest can affect people and operations

  • Build basic guidance and expectations for staff who work or travel outside your home base

​

We keep it practical. The goal isn’t a 100-page “global policy”—it’s clear expectations and support that staff and managers can follow.

Travel Risk for Executives & Key Staff

Travel is often the most vulnerable time for high-value people and key functions.
We support:

  • Founders, executives, and senior staff traveling for deals, events, or site visits

  • High-visibility or high-risk travel (sensitive projects, contentious negotiations, public-facing roles)

  • Key technical or operational staff whose absence would be a major problem

 

Support can include:

  • Pre-trip briefings focused on practical realities, not fear

  • Review of lodging, routes, and patterns that can create or reduce exposure

  • Guidance on how to move, meet, and communicate more safely on the ground

​

Depending on need, this can be paired with protective services, local coordination, or crisis support if the risk level calls for it.

Event, Project & Mission-Based Overseas Support

Some risk is tied to specific events or missions:

  • International conferences, trade shows, or launches

  • High-stakes meetings or negotiations in unfamiliar locations

  • Projects involving politically sensitive, high-crime, or unstable areas

 

We will help you:

  • Understand the human and operational risk picture around the event or project

  • Identify realistic “worst cases” and what you’d do if one of them happened

  • Put lightweight, practical measures in place so you’re not improvising overseas

You maintain focus on the event or mission. We focus on how to keep it from turning into a
problem—for people, reputation, or operations.

Integration with Your Overall Risk Posture

Global support and travel risk don’t live in a silo. They tie directly into:

  • Corporate Risk & Advisory – when leadership wants to understand global exposure at the portfolio or company level

  • Protection – when specific trips, people, or destinations call for a protective presence

  • Investigations – when cross-border issues, disputes, or integrity questions arise

  • Crisis Management – when an incident involving staff or operations overseas needs a structured response

We help make sure your “global side” doesn’t become the blind spot in otherwise solid planning.

Who This Is For

Our Global Support & Travel Risk services are a fit for:

  • Companies with staff, partners, or operations across multiple regions

  • Leaders who travel regularly for deals, conferences, or site work

  • Teams supporting international clients, vendors, or portfolios

  • Organizations that have already had a close call—or want to avoid their first one

You don’t have to be a giant multinational to need global risk thinking. You just need to have people and decisions that cross borders.
