Country cyber risk ratings
Know the cyber risk before you travel.
CyberMap rates the cyber risk a traveller faces in every country: state surveillance, phone and laptop searches at the border, laws on VPNs and encryption, and cybercrime. Live scores pick up recent events, and each rating comes with steps to take before, during and after the trip.

Live score
The rating plus recent events
Events such as spyware use or device seizures at the border raise a country's score for a while, then fade.
The traveller lens
Adjust for who is travelling.
The rating is the same for everyone. The traveller lens adjusts it for the person going: their role, what they carry and who they work for.
Illustration: the same country, for an executive with a personal phone.
