Secure Escrow
Optimum protection against high risks when investing in products and services that include software and firmware
Services
Sources and documentation are checked for completeness as per manifest
Media are tested for working order and readability
Current versions and bug fixes are requested from the vendor at intervals stipulated in the contract (update service)
The source code is compiled (translated into the executable program) using the manufacturer’s systems and tested for correct operation
The manufacturer’s development environment is documented in detail
The software manufacturer’s development processes, programming guidelines and
system environment are audited and documented in detail
Selected code excerpts are evaluated for methodology, programming clarity and reusability by a neutral expert
The source code and documentation are securely deposited in two independent locations
High risk? Examples of criteria are:
The lack of support or bankruptcy of the manufacturer affects the liquidity of the company
The software controls business-critical, company-wide processes
The software is highly customized to meet specific requirements
The software constantly requires modifications and extensions
The investment value of the software only makes sense in the case of long-term, reliable use
