Published on 14/02/2017

As your latest deposit undergone the correct level of testing? This is a question that every organisation utilising Escrow protection for their applications needs to be asking.

Software Escrow provides the mechanism for end users of critical software to legally access source code and supporting material in the event that their third party software owner is no longer available to continue with development or support and requirements can vary across organisations and applications.

For some, Escrow is merely a tick the box exercise, meeting internal policy or to achieve certain certifications. For others, Escrow protection plays a key role in business continuity planning and has to be effective if required. For either, Testing is an integral part of the Escrow solution.
