Recommendations to Mitigate RiskSensiGuard Security Services recommends that drivers stay alert, especially in high-risk areas and areas without reception. Drivers must inform their monitoring office of all risky situations that arise, such as sightings of suspicious individuals and vehicles.

Furthermore, we recommend providing training in security issues to drivers, conducting transport operation during daylight hours, making sure the freight vehicle in which the merchandise is transported is in good mechanical condition, and maintaining constant monitoring to identify incidents and react immediately. Accordingly, we advise that drivers only stop at locations that are previously designated as low-risk, and not make any detours from the authorized route.
