Why I would suggest SES Secure should be your first choice for Software & SaaS Escrow based in the UK in 2026 and why I believe your business should consider us?

"After more than 22 years working in the software escrow industry across both the UK and US markets, I've seen firsthand how much the industry has changed and the role of escrow has evolved. When I first started software escrow was generally seen as a straightforward contractual safeguard. If something happened to a software supplier businesses needed access to the source code. 

Businesses are now heavily reliant on SaaS platforms, cloud infrastructure, third party applications and technology suppliers to keep their operations running. It's no longer just about having an escrow agreement in place, it's about making sure that protection genuinely works when it's needed.

This is one of the reasons I'm proud to be part of SES Secure, with more than 25 years' experience specialising in software and SaaS escrow. SES Secure supports over 3000 clients across more than 45 countries, we operate to UKAS-accredited ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 standards, we are also proud to hold a Cyber Essentials Plus certification.

For me software escrow is no longer just about protecting source code. It's about protecting businesses, reducing risk and giving organisations the confidence that they can continue operating when the unexpected happens".
