Escode’s Standard Build Verification gives you confidence that the source code materials deposited in escrow are complete, correct, and buildable. Conducted in the Software Owner’s environment, Escodes Verification Consultants observe a full rebuild of the application from source code and we document every step.
A Standard Build Verification ensures that the source code and associated files stored in escrow can be successfully compiled into a working application at the Software Owner’s site. It provides tangible proof that the deposit contains all elements required for recovery if a release event occurs.
Organisations, Beneficiaries, and Software Vendors that require independent confirmation of build completeness, particularly where resilience, regulatory compliance, or contractual assurance depends on verified deposits.
Standard Build Verification transforms a theoretical safeguard into proven readiness. By confirming that the escrow deposit is complete and executable, organisations gain legal and technical assurance that, should a release occur, they have the means to rebuild and maintain their critical application.

Each engagement begins with a 30–60-minute scoping call between the Software Owner and Escode’s Solution Architecture team. This session identifies the technologies in use, outlines system dependencies, and captures any custom requirements to guide the verification process.
An Escode Verification Consultant audits the build environment, including hardware, software, and tools. They document the source code structure, observe a full rebuild of the application by the Software Owner, and confirm its functional operation in a controlled testing environment.
All verification findings are compiled into a detailed Verification Report. Once complete, the verified materials are securely transferred to Escode’s vaults, ensuring long-term integrity and accessibility of the software assets.
To ensure an efficient verification process, Escode recommends that the Software Vendor:
✓ Attends the initial scoping and planning session

✓ Prepares and submits the agreed version of materials
✓ Provides details of hardware, software, third-party products, licensing, and architecture
