What is Software Escrow Verification?

Software Escrow Verification tests the source code and material held under the Software Escrow Agreement to ensure it is correct, complete, and can be rebuilt into the working application, providing a higher level of resilience and business continuity assurance.

                          

                      

Benefits of Escrow Verification

Enables continuity

Software Escrow Verification guarantees the availability of the knowledge and guidance required to rebuild further, maintain, and develop the software.

Supports compliance

Software Escrow Verification supports compliance with regulatory requirements to test business continuity and exit plans for critical third-party software.

Mitigates risk

Software Escrow Verification diminishes IT supply chain disruption risk by certifying that business continuity plans are executed with minimal disruption or downtime.

How does Escrow Verification work?

Witness

One of our expert in-house Software Escrow Verification Consultants will work alongside the software supplier, either in person or virtually, to observe and capture evidence of the end-to-end process of rebuilding the software code into a working application. This is done either at the supplier’s site, within Escode’s environment or the software customer’s on-site IT infrastructure – this is dependent on the chosen level of verification.

Document

Our Verification Consultant will document their findings in an ISO9001 standard report. This includes precise details of all tasks and information gathered, checks made, results of those checks, and any additional findings/ recommendations. The report will also detail any credentials, information, or materials identified during the exercise so that it can be used as a step-by-step build guide by the software customer in a release event.

Deposit

Escode will issue a copy of the Software Escrow Verification report to all parties for comment. Once approved, we will deposit this into Escrow along with other associated materials. We offer the flexibility to deposit within a physical or virtual vault located within our secure Cloud environment, which is monitored 24/7 by our industry-leading Security Operations Centre to ensure the highest level of security is maintained at all times.
