Our world is becoming increasingly unstable where Kidnap, Ransom, Extortion have become real concerns for companies and their employees. The media regularly report the kidnap of an employee or aid worker somewhere in the world. However the reality is that over 90% of kidnaps do not become public knowledge. While Brazil, Columbia, Iraq, Mexico, Philippines, Chechnya, Nigeria and Venezuela are some of the known hotspots, there is no entirely safe area in the world.

The effect of the Kidnap is felt not only by the victim and their family, but also by the employer or organization where the victim is affiliated. There is a moral obligation to meet the ransom demand for an employee who was put in harm’s way. Also the loss of a key person can have a profound effect on the company’s ability to continue business in a particular area. Of course, the financial loss of funds paid as ransom.
