My source code escrow; Always access to your own source code

Custom-built software is often the engine of your organization. But even if you fully own and manage the code yourself, continuity can still be at risk — for example due to a cyberattack, hardware failure, internal disputes, or the departure of key developers. Without independent safeguards in place, you risk your business grinding to a halt, even though the code is technically yours.

On top of that, regulations like NIS2 and DORA now require you to clearly demonstrate that you understand your digital risks and that you have concrete, documented measures in place to guarantee continuity and reduce dependence on individuals and suppliers.

For organizations in regulated markets — such as financial institutions under AFM supervision — this goes even further. From a compliance perspective, the board must be able to show at any moment, through audits, how digital resilience and continuity are structurally secured.

In that context, independent access to source code and technical documentation is not a nice-to-have, but a basic requirement. With an active (digital) escrow arrangement, you reduce risks and dependencies and provide tangible assurance to your stakeholders.

That is exactly why Escrow4all developed My Source Code: a modern, continuously updated escrow solution that fits seamlessly with your compliance and continuity needs. Expertly verified and updated according to an agreed schedule, including new releases and versions.
