Proactive SAST Protection for Escrowed Applications
Escode's Static Application Security Testing (SAST) goes beyond basic deployment validation. We analyse uncompiled source code directly inside your escrow deposits to proactively flag structural security flaws, hidden software vulnerabilities, and third-party dependency risks before they can impact your production environment.
Deep automated scanning analyses uncompiled code from the inside out, exposing hidden security injection paths and structural errors before software deployment.
Includes a collaborative technical review of findings with your software vendors and a free follow-up scan on all remediated code to ensure compliance.
Guarantees that if a trigger event happens, the inherited software portfolio you rely on is fundamentally clean, secure, and ready to safely deploy.
Escode bridges legal assurance and technical reality, proving your software can be reconstructed and redeployed if your supplier fails. We achieve this by combining robust escrow agreements with software validation and independent rebuild testing to support your compliance frameworks.
