Why do I need software escrow?

Third party supplier software exposes your business to continuity risks. Here is why you need software escrow, whether it is Source Code Escrow, SaaS Escrow, cloud-hosted or on-premise, or a bespoke software escrow solution. You need protection against business disruption. Software escrow protects your business against unplanned interruptions resulting from third party software.

What is software escrow?

Software escrow is a legal arrangement where the source code and other important materials of an application are deposited with a neutral and independent escrow agent subject to a legal agreement between the software end user, vendor, and ESCROWSURE.

The objective of an escrow arrangement is to provide comfort to the end user that if the software vendor is unable or unwilling to support the software, the code, and other critical materials can be released to them ensuring the end user’s ability to update and maintain the software, thereby protecting their business continuity.

We believe every business deserves the best possible protection against unplanned business interruptions caused by third party software.
