1) The digital backbone of your organisation

CI/CD, container orchestration, identity & access, observability, iPaaS, ETL: every component influences your uptime.
With Software Escrow, you safeguard source code, build scripts, IaC templates (e.g., Terraform), secrets policies, deployment guides, and runbooks.
With SaaS Escrow, you secure service continuity (including payment fallback to cloud providers) and access to admin interfaces.
With Data Escrow, you safeguard datasets and schemas that fall outside your direct control — such as multi‑tenant SaaS data.

The result: your platform remains operable, even if a vendor or integrator drops out.

What we safeguard:

• Source code (repos, tags, build instructions), dependencies, and licenses

• CI/CD pipelines, IaC, secrets‑rotation processes (excluding production secrets)

• Runbooks, SRE procedures, on‑call routes, RTO/RPO assumptions

• Multi‑cloud/region information and fallbacks for PaaS/SaaS components

• Data models, schemas, migrations, and test data

2) Continuity & risk mitigation

Incidents cost money and trust. With an escrow arrangement, you can have what you need — source code, containers, images, configurations, and documentation — released in a controlled manner during a major incident. Internal or external engineers can then restore systems, reducing MTTD/MTTR and lowering SLA risk.

Typical scenarios:

• Vendor ceases operations or is acquired

• Subscription/contract conflict threatening access

• Critical bug in a proprietary component that you must patch yourself

3) IP protection and custom software

Using custom modules, integrations, or proprietary frameworks? Escrow records rights and access clearly: the developer keeps the intellectual property; you gain guaranteed access when needed. This combines innovation with control and prevents “hard” rewrites under time pressure.

4) Compliance & standards (NIS2, ISO 27001, SOC 2)

Escrow provides demonstrable support for your business‑continuity and information‑security controls. It strengthens evidence for change and release management, supplier risk management, and recovery plans — all relevant for NIS2, ISO 27001, and SOC 2. Verification reports and update logs can be submitted during audits.

5) What we safeguard

• Source code (repos, tags, build instructions), dependencies, licenses

• CI/CD pipelines, IaC, secrets‑rotation processes (excluding production secrets)

• Runbooks, SRE procedures, on‑call routes, RTO/RPO assumptions

• Multi‑cloud/region information and fallbacks for PaaS/SaaS components

• Data models, schemas, migrations, and test data

6) Verification & updates (Active Escrow)

We verify periodically. Examples include:

• VerifOne – integrity check of the deposit

• VerifTwo – build/compile/test in the current environment

• VerifThree – clean‑room rebuild + installation + functional smoke tests

This ensures you don’t face surprises for the first time during an incident.

7) IT procurement checklist

• Is access to source code, IaC, and runbooks contractually secured?

• Is there a payment fallback to cloud providers?

• Are verification frequency and release criteria clearly defined?

• Does the arrangement align with your RTO/RPO and BCM plans?
