Providing Simple & Secure Source Code Escrow
A robust Software Escrow agreement gives organisations guaranteed access to the source code and technical assets they rely on.

Drawing upon that experience, L1 allows us to refine all that knowledge and experience into one simple package. It includes the highest security levels in the industry, UKAS certified ISO: 27001 and ISO: 9001. Choosing the right Escrow for software helps organisations meet regulatory requirements, strengthen vendor‑risk management, and maintain control over mission‑critical systems.
