Important Considerations
Choosing The Right Software Escrow Provider For Your Business
Not all Software Escrow providers offer the same level of protection. When evaluating a provider, look beyond simply storing Source Code and consider their technical expertise, verification capabilities, cloud and SaaS experience, security credentials, financial protection and ability to support continuity when it matters most. An experienced provider should offer flexible Software and SaaS Escrow solutions, independent verification services, automated deposit options, recognised information security standards such as ISO 27001 and ISO 27017, and the technical capability to support modern cloud-hosted applications. It is also important to understand the provider’s professional indemnity and liability cover, ensuring it reflects the value of the software and the risks being protected. The Escrow Company combines all of these capabilities with one of the highest levels of included escrow liability cover in the market, giving both software vendors and beneficiaries confidence that their continuity strategy is backed by a provider equipped to deliver when it’s needed most.
