We’ve teamed up with the gold standard of travel safety, International SOS, in a partnership to create new products and collaborate with their global analyst teams. This strategic alliance brings together the medical and travel security excellence of International SOS with Factal’s trusted expertise in verified risk intelligence, technology and journalism. As part of the deal, International SOS has made a modest equity investment, but Factal remains independent. Here’s the press release from International SOS announcing the partnership.
One of the most common requests from our members is to bring their travelers into the Factal platform, and we’ll soon launch a comprehensive travel management solution powered by International SOS data. Members will be able to monitor global travelers, track upcoming itineraries and see when critical events occur in proximity to both traveling employees and company assets in real time. Our new travel solution will live side-by-side in a seamless unified experience with Factal’s trusted risk intelligence, threat detection, brand monitoring and mobile safety solutions.
At the same time, International SOS is working on new solutions leveraging Factal’s verified risk intelligence. With more than 12,000 experts in 90 countries, International SOS has an immense global footprint. The company is integrating Factal in its internal communications, and International SOS analysts have joined the Factal chat network to collaborate with our editors in real time. The partnership strengthens both companies’ ability to rapidly assess emerging risks in an increasingly noisy, uncertain world.
“There has been an alarming surge in unverified information, making it increasingly difficult for organizations to access reliable and trusted information that is crucial when protecting the mobile workforce,” said Jarrett Michau, Chief Executive Officer, Americas Assistance at International SOS. “Factal’s pioneering approach to fast and verified risk intelligence makes them an excellent partner for International SOS.”
United by a shared vision of protecting people’s health and safety, this partnership underscores the importance of getting the facts right when lives are at risk. Through a hybrid of advanced AI and experienced journalists, Factal delivers verified risk solutions that combine speed and accuracy together, empowering teams to make faster, more confident decisions. Wired throughout the platform, Factal’s chat network connects security, crisis and disaster response teams at scale to share ground-level reports of critical events and engage with Factal editors.
