GREENWOOD VILLAGE, CO (March 22, 2023) — Locana, an international leader in spatial technology, today announced that on behalf of its Lemur Mobile GIS Solution, it participates in a secure software certification program from Veracode, a leading global provider of modern application security testing solutions. Veracode Verified validates a company’s secure software development processes.

Veracode Verified empowers Locana to demonstrate its commitment to creating secure software.
“Locana has made secure software development a priority and a competitive advantage by adopting a mature application security program.”
