Abstract

A user, such as an employee of an institution, may travel overseas where data or devices may be compromised. Described herein is a system and method for receiving travel data for the user from a travel data source and receiving a list of countries with a high level of security threats where data security may be an issue. Based on the travel data for the user and the list of countries with a high level of security threats, it may be determined whether the user is entering a country with a high level of security threats. If so, one or more user devices associated with the user may be determined, and data security scans of the devices may be generated before, during, and/or after travel. Data security issues may be determined based on a comparison of the scans. A report of the issues may optionally be generated.
