FAQ's


  • What role does Software Escrow play in business continuity?

    Software Escrow strengthens business continuity through assuring that software remains accessible and operational, even when faced with crisis or disruption. 


    Software Escrow and SaaS Escrow services also ensure that software applications can be rebuilt and recovered if needed.

  • What happens if our software supplier becomes insolvent?

    A software supplier/IP owner becoming insolvent means that an Escrow release condition has been met. As a result, the Escrowed materials are released to the end-user. The equips the end-user with uninterrupted access and operational control over the software application. 

  • Is storing source code in Escrow enough to protect business continuity?

    Solely storing source code in Escrow may not be enough to safeguard business continuity. A proactive approach to business continuity involves confirming that the deposited materials are complete and can be used to rebuild a software application. This can be achieved through software verification and validation services.

  • Why is Software Escrow important for business-critical applications?

    A business-critical application is a software application that is significantly relied upon by its users. These applications play a key role in ensuring that a business can operate on a day-to-day basis.

    Software Escrow provides an independent safety net for business-critical applications that assures continuity. In the event of unexpected disruption, SES Secure’s Software and SaaS Escrow services safeguard business continuity while preventing financial loss and reputational damage.
