Lighthouse Report

Sarentic products are priced per destination operating area — not per country.
A destination operating area is typically one city/metro area, one region/province, or one island grouping where travellers operate under similar conditions.
If your travel spans multiple operating areas, purchase separate destination briefs or keep your request to the primary operating area you want covered.

Decision support for travel approvals

The Lighthouse Report is Sarentic’s destination-based decision-support report for SMEs that want more than traveller guidance. It combines the Compass Brief with an approval-ready position: destination context, existing controls you’re already relying on, and additional controls that reduce meaningful exposure before you approve travel.

Compass is for travellers. Lighthouse is for approvers. It provides an approval posture plus a decision record you can sign.

The result is a clear basis for approval — plus a simple way to record the decision.

The Lighthouse Report provides:

  • Destination-specific coverage (includes Compass Brief)

  • Approval posture (what changes for your business)

  • Existing + additional controls (what you rely on; what to add/tighten)

  • Decision basis + decision record (clear rationale; easy to document)

Proceed to payment

Implementation note: Most actions are implemented internally. Where they involve travel logistics or suppliers, coordination is typically handled by your travel manager or TMC.

AUD $2,000 for single destination (includes Compass Brief)

Need more than one destination? Additional destinations are $1,400 each (added after intake).

Lighthouse is destination-based and includes a standing Destination Travel Posture Decision Page (Attachment A). The posture is set for the destination; trip approvals are refreshed before each departure.

Before each departure: complete the 48-hour check (Attachment C) and record the approval decision (Attachment B).

  • Both are destination-based.

    Compass Brief is traveller-level guidance for that destination: what to know, how to behave, and what to watch for.
    Lighthouse Report adds an organisation-level approval posture: what you’re relying on (existing controls), what to add or tighten (additional controls), and a clear basis for approval — plus a simple way to record the decision.

    Per-departure note: Because conditions change, both Compass and Lighthouse should be re-validated close to travel using the 48-hour Smartraveller check / situational validation (Attachment C).

  • Use it as a destination baseline, then re-validate before each departure.

    Baseline (once, per destination):

    • Read Lighthouse and adopt your destination travel posture (existing controls + additional controls).

    Before each departure (every time):

    • Complete Attachment C around 48 hours before travel (Smartraveller update + assumptions check).

    • Record the approval decision using the Manager Decision Record (Attachment B).

  • Because most SMEs repeat destinations. Lighthouse gives you a stable, reusable approval posture for that destination.
    Trip timing and “freshness” are handled through the per-departure steps: the 48-hour check (Attachment C) and the decision record (Attachment B).

  • Light. You complete a short intake, then receive a decision-ready report you can use immediately.
    No new system to adopt, and no ongoing monitoring program.

  • No. Lighthouse is decision support — not legal advice, certification, or an audit.
    It translates destination context into an approval posture for your organisation: existing controls, additional controls, and a clear basis to record the decision.
