Compass Point Assist Launches Compass Shield: Closing the Gap Between Insurance and Reality

Compass Point Assist today announced the launch of Compass Shield, a pioneering membership service designed to close the critical gap between traditional insurance cover and real-world risk management.

By combining financial protection with intelligence and operational response, Compass Shield shifts the model from reactive to proactive. Members receive access to a dynamically maintained risk map, tailored destination-specific guidance before travel, and real-time monitoring of political instability, extreme weather, and medical threats.

Jennifer Milton, Founder & CEO of Compass Point Assist, explained: "Compass Shield is about changing the game from reactive to proactive. We believe prevention is just as important as response — and by combining intelligence with assistance, we’re giving insurers, corporates, and travelers a genuine layer of protection that goes beyond policy wording."

Michael O’Halloran, Head of Risk Strategy at Compass Point Assist, added: "In high-risk environments, information is protection. With decades of experience in volatile environments, I know how quickly risks can escalate. Compass Shield gives members foresight — and that foresight means fewer crises, fewer claims, and more confidence for travelers and insurers alike."

For insurers, Compass Shield supports growing consumer duty obligations by helping mitigate foreseeable harm through preventative measures and timely interventions. For corporates, it reinforces employee safety programs. For travelers, it delivers peace of mind before, during, and after their journeys.

"There will always be emergencies," Milton concluded. "But the best measure of effective risk management is not how quickly you can respond once a crisis begins, it’s how many crises you can help prevent."
