Frequently asked questions
What does Codekeeper do?
Codekeeper protects your business continuity by securing source code, software assets, and SaaS applications through modern escrow services. We verify, store, and safeguard your intellectual property with enterprise-grade security.
What are software escrow services?
A software escrow service stores critical software assets with a trusted third party to protect intellectual property and business relationships. The escrow agent keeps secure copies of source code and documentation and releases them to clients when specific agreement conditions are met.
What companies use escrow?
Software vendors use escrow to win large enterprise deals, while banks, healthcare companies, and government agencies require escrow for their critical systems. Technology companies, manufacturers, and other businesses that depend on custom software also need escrow protection.
How do you find the best software escrow service?
Start with security. Check for ISO certifications and clear verification processes that protect your software assets. Next, compare essential features like storage limits and pricing structures. Finally, review their deposit automation capabilities and agreement flexibility. Focus on what matters: strong security proves reliability, automated deposits save time, clear pricing prevents surprises, and flexible terms fit your business. The right provider will offer these fundamentals while meeting your specific protection requirements.
