Learn more about Software Escrow

Escode works with many public sector organisations, including government agencies and healthcare providers, to support operational continuity and resilience. The shift to cloud-hosted and third-party software creates new dependencies that need to be managed carefully.

Our software escrow agreements give you the legal right to access critical source code and materials if a supplier cannot meet obligations. We tailor software escrow arrangements to your unique operational needs.

In addition, our testing and verification services independently confirm that deposited software is complete, functional, and ready to support recovery scenarios. This validation helps organisations meet regulatory and continuity expectations with confidence.

As Sue Murphy, Director of Clinical Services at The University of Edinburgh, explains, “The Escrow as a Service solution has supported us in managing and mitigating the risks associated with cloud-hosted software. Should the worst happen, we have the confidence and the means to continue operating as normal with minimum disruption.”

We understand the public sector’s responsibility to deliver reliable, uninterrupted services, especially as new infrastructure challenges emerge post-pandemic. Escode is here to help you develop practical, scalable operational and digital resilience through trusted software escrow and verification services.
