SaaS Access Continuity provides beneficiaries with secure access to an existing live cloud-hosted application in the event that a third party supplier is unable or unwilling to continue providing the service.
The beneficiary is therefore able to continue operating their critical system without the delays associated with rebuilding from Source Code. The Escrow Company securely stores and regularly verifies privileged cloud access credentials within a protected digital vault, ensuring they are available when required.
Where traditional Software Escrow focuses on recovering an application, SaaS Access Continuity focuses on maintaining access to the production environment that already exists. This makes it an ideal solution where speed of recovery is critical and the production environment remains operational.

Continue operating the application without the delays associated with rebuilding from Source Code.
Maintain access to critical business systems with minimal interruption following supplier failure.
Access credentials are regularly tested and validated by The Escrow Company to ensure they remain usable.
Meet business continuity, regulatory and contractual requirements for critical SaaS applications.
Can be combined with The Escrow Company’s Software Escrow Service for additional protection and long-term maintainability.
Administrative cloud credentials, account ownership details and optional supporting documentation are securely deposited into The Escrow Company’s protected digital vault. This can include root or administrator access, authentication credentials, access permissions and relevant infrastructure documentation.
Access credentials are regularly validated through controlled testing to confirm they remain current and usable. Testing includes secure retrieval and authentication, validation of permissions and roles, and confirmation that the account can be accessed and controlled as intended.
Following an agreed release event, the verified credentials are securely transferred to the beneficiary through a controlled handover process. The beneficiary can then assume administrative control of the live cloud environment, update credentials and security controls, and continue operating the SaaS service with minimal disruption.
