Staying safe in São Paulo
A Message from KPMG Global Security
Street crime is the principal risk for business travelers to São Paulo. All visitors should take personal measures to avoid being victimized. It is particularly important to exercise caution during hours of darkness as this is when muggings and robberies escalate. We recommend that everyone use pre-arranged ground transportation for any movements to activities outside the hotel.
Please take the following personal precautions:
- Maintain a low profile outside the hotel and do not carry anything in plain view that might be considered of value to a criminal (mobile devices, expensive jewelry, etc.).
- Upon arrival to your room, familiarize yourself with the hotel’s emergency exit locations and evacuation routes.
- Use prearranged ground transportation through the hotel or event support team.
- Always carry a copy of your ID and passport/visa with you.
- Ensure your mobile device is sufficiently charged before leaving the hotel.
- Travel in pairs or groups rather than alone when exploring outside the hotel.
- Use ATM machines inside the hotel or a bank and avoid any street-facing terminals.
- Chip-based debit/credit cards are recommended for electronic transactions, as card theft as well as skimming is a concern. Criminals have been reported to use magnetic strip readers. Bringing some cash is ideal, since not all credit cards may be accepted.
- Exercise vigilance if visiting popular night clubs and entertainment areas as they are locations with higher crime rates.
- Immediately contact first responders (Ambulance – 192, Police - 190) in the event of a security or medical emergency. Please note that not all police and emergency responders speak English and there could be a language barrier, therefore if your situation allows it is beneficial to work with someone fluent in Portuguese when contacting authorities.
- Area Note: The majority of violent crimes in Sao Paulo are committed in peripheral neighborhoods and favelas on the outskirts of the city and are linked to gang conflicts over drug trade or conflicts between local residents. The eastern neighborhoods and the far south of the city are considered high-risk areas and should be avoided. Nonetheless, no area of the city should be considered immune to crime.
Information Security Measures
- Avoid connecting to public wi-fi connections. If you must do so, use your VPN and select the “Always-Tunnel” option from the Group dropdown.
- Ensure all software, including anti-virus protection and any security patches, are up to date prior to travel. Do not update software while away.
- Turn off Wi-fi and Bluetooth when not in use.
- When you return home, consider changing passwords on accounts that you’ve accessed if you suspect any issues. Also monitor your financial statements for fraudulent charges.
Reporting Incidents
- KPMG partners and employees should contact International SOS 24/7 at +1-215-942-8226 in the event of an urgent medical or security situation requiring support.
- KPMG partners and employees should download the IntlSOS Assistance app onto your smart phone prior to travel. Visit app.internationalsos.com from your smartphone’s browser or go to your phone’s app store and search for “International SOS”. When you first start the app, use your KPMG email address to register. You may be asked to enter KPMG’s membership number, which is 1CPA1111.
