The ability to discreetly trigger an emergency alert can make all the difference in high-risk situations.
“The most effective duty of care solutions combine cutting-edge technology with human expertise. Our clients consistently report that having both a mobile application and 24/7 monitoring capabilities provides the comprehensive protection their global workforce requires.”

SicuroPeople: The International SOS Traveler App Built for Enterprise Requirements
Sicuro’s SicuroPeople platform offers a complete employee safety ecosystem that goes beyond basic panic button functionality, incorporating comprehensive tracking and emergency response capabilities specifically designed for international business travelers and remote workers:
1. Real-Time GPS Tracking with Minimal Battery Impact
One of the most common concerns with international SOS traveler apps is battery drain.
SicuroPeople addresses this directly with an ultra-efficient tracking system that consumes just
2–5% of battery life per day while maintaining accurate real-time location data.
This lightweight footprint makes it practical for everyday use by corporate travelers without
requiring them to constantly monitor battery levels or carry additional charging equipment—even
during extended international assignments.
2. Emergency SOS Button with 24/7 Professional Monitoring
At the core of SicuroPeople is its emergency SOS functionality, designed for immediate response
in crisis situations anywhere in the world:
- One-touch activation with a 3-second hold requirement to prevent accidental triggers
- Immediate alert transmission to your security team or Sicuro’s 24/7 operations center
- Continuous GPS location updates enabling rapid response coordination
- Lock screen widget access for emergencies when the phone is locked
- SMS fallback capability ensuring functionality in areas with limited connectivity
Unlike consumer-grade tracking applications, SicuroPeople connects directly to professional
emergency response infrastructure with trained operators who can coordinate appropriate
assistance anywhere worldwide, making it a true international SOS traveler solution.
3. Two-Way Secure Messaging for International Communication
Beyond simply tracking location, SicuroPeople enables secure, encrypted communication between field personnel and the operations center, including media sharing capabilities that can provide critical contextual information during emergencies—regardless of international borders or local communication infrastructure limitations.
4. Advanced Security Features for Enterprise Requirements
For organizations with strict compliance requirements, SicuroPeople delivers:
- End-to-end AES 256-bit encryption for all communications and location data

Software vs. Hardware: Why Mobile Apps Outperform Standalone Devices
While many organizations initially search for standalone hardware devices like keychain dongles for SOS functionality, Sicuro Group’s experience working with Fortune 500 companies has revealed significant limitations with this approach:
- Device management challenges – Physical devices require international distribution, maintenance, battery replacement, and are easily forgotten or lost
- Limited functionality – Standalone devices typically offer only basic SOS capabilities without the comprehensive protection of integrated solutions
- Higher long-term costs – Hardware replacement and management typically exceed software subscription costs over time
SicuroPeople transforms the employee’s existing smartphone into a comprehensive international SOS traveler device that’s always at hand, regularly charged, and capable of much more than simple SOS alerts.
The Three-Part System That Ensures Comprehensive International Protection
What truly sets Sicuro’s international SOS traveler solution apart is its three-component architecture designed for maximum reliability across borders:
- Smartphone Tracking App – Lightweight application installed on employee devices with SOS button, check-in functionality, and minimal resource usage
- SicuroTrack Monitoring Platform – Powerful dashboard for security teams with real-time visualization, geofencing, and analytics
- 24/7 Global Support Center – Round-the-clock technical support with optional monitoring services backed by strict response time SLAs
