Escode published a blog exploring eight practical steps legal teams can follow when implementing a Software Escrow Agreement.

Escode is a technology resilience business helping organisations protect the software they rely on to operate, grow, and innovate. Founded in 1988, we identified a growing risk early: as businesses became more dependent on software, there was no structured way to reduce the risk associated with third‑party applications or safeguard intellectual property if things went wrong. We built Software Escrow to solve that problem. Today, Escode is a global leader in Software Escrow, IP Escrow, and Verification Services. Headquartered in the UK, we operate globally with teams across the Americas, Europe, and APAC. We work with organisations in finance, government, critical infrastructure, and enterprise sectors to reduce risk, maintain compliance, and strengthen supplier resilience. Our solutions provide verified access to business‑critical software and materials, giving customers confidence that systems can be tested, accessed, and sustained when it matters most. For software vendors, we provide services that strengthen software resilience for their customers—supporting continuity, compliance, and long‑term commercial relationships. We’re practical, hands‑on, and partnership‑led. Whether you’re responsible for risk, compliance, IT, operations, or finance, our specialist team supports you at every step—helping you build resilient technology foundations in an increasingly uncertain digital world. 🔗 www.escode.com
