What happens when the service providers you depend on fail, go bankrupt, or disappear?
What is continuity escrow?
Continuity escrow is a service that keeps your infrastructure operational when payment disruptions threaten to shut it down. When you flag a disruption, Codekeeper will step in to maintain critical services — giving you time to transition to new providers or resolve the underlying issue.
Your infrastructure depends on providers. When they fail, your services go offline. When your services go offline, you fail your clients. When you fail your clients, your business stops.
That’s why continuity escrow protects against:
Hosting suspensions from missed payments
Access lockouts from expired accounts
Cascading failures across service dependencies
Revenue loss during financial transitions
Client abandonment after repeated outages
We bridge operational gaps caused by service failures
Every platform your software touches depends on external infrastructure — APIs, hosting platforms, storage systems, third-party services. If payments on a dependency are missed, we step in before it causes your software to crash. More than 3 500 companies chose to protect their operations this way. You can too.
How Continuity Escrow works
1. Book a free consultation
Talk to our team about your infrastructure dependencies. We'll identify which platforms create risk and map out your vulnerability points.
2. Create your account
Pick a plan that covers your needs and invite stakeholders to your dashboard. We'll draft your legal framework and configure your vault.
3. Upload your vendors
Link your infrastructure platforms once for automated daily synchronization. Or manually upload hosting credentials through our secure portal.
4. Certify your resilience
Order verification to test your escrowed credentials. We confirm login access and continuity capability, then issue a Software Resilience Certificate.

End-to-end legal and technical support
Continuity protection works only when legal agreements and technical systems align perfectly. We handle both sides so your implementation goes smoothly from contract to activation.
Legal framework included
We draft continuity agreements for your specific scenario — from ready-to-sign templates to completely bespoke contracts for unique infrastructure arrangements.
Multi-party arrangements
Your agreement can involve two parties, three parties, or multiple vendors. We define payment triggers, service responsibilities, and activation protocols for everyone involved.
Jurisdiction selection
Choose the legal jurisdiction governing your agreement based on where you operate, your existing contracts, or regulatory mandates.
Service continuity coverage
If vendor payments stop, your essential services stay running for up to 12 months to give you time to implement long-term solutions.
24/7/365 event processing
Service disruptions can happen at any hour. Reach us around the clock over phone, chat, or email for immediate activation at $199 per hour.
Unique in-app agreement management
24/7 technical and legal support
Guided implementation
Built for security, verified for trust
Storing hosting credentials and administrative access demands serious security. We provide the protection auditors and stakeholders expect with the documentation they require.
AES-256/512 encryption
Military-grade encryption shields your credentials and access tokens from the moment you upload them until the moment we use them for activation.
Version history
A permanent record captures what was uploaded, when it changed, and who authorized modifications. This creates a complete chain of custody for compliance requirements.
Multi-factor authentication access control
Control exactly who can access your credentials by adding 2FA for sensitive roles. You can also review detailed logs of every access attempt to maintain security.
Global secure vault network
Immutable storage
Software Resilience Certificates included
Guarantee your software continuity with technical testing
While Continuity Escrow keeps your services operating when payments fail, regulators and auditors still require documented proof that your systems will remain resilient.

Frequently asked questions
What is continuity escrow?
What is continuity escrow?
Continuity escrow is a service arrangement that prevents infrastructure shutdowns caused by missed payments on essential platforms. In this arrangement, you deposit hosting credentials, service access tokens, and platform infrastructure with a neutral escrow agent, such as Codekeeper, who secures them and activates payment coverage when you report a financial disruption. This ensures your systems remain operational while you implement permanent solutions.
How does Continuity Escrow help you build digital resilience?
Continuity Escrow prevents operational downtime caused by payment failures. When critical infrastructure bills go unpaid — whether due to vendor bankruptcy, payment processing issues, or other financial disruptions — you flag the problem and we immediately take over payments. Your hosting stays active, services remain funded, and applications keep running while you arrange long-term solutions.
What proof of protection does Continuity Escrow provide?
Every Continuity Escrow account comes with a Basic Software Resilience Certificate (Validated level) that proves your protection is in place. If you need stronger verification, you can upgrade to an Enhanced certificate (Verified level) or Premium certificate (Certified level) — these higher tiers include testing to confirm your escrowed credentials work, and we can successfully activate your services when needed. All three certificates provide the documentation your auditors, clients, and stakeholders need to verify your cyber resilience.
What makes Continuity Escrow different from traditional software escrow?
Traditional software escrow is mainly a vault for storing source code and is there if you ever need to recover from a disruption. Continuity Escrow takes a more proactive approach: we store credentials and supporting services information so we can step in before any disruption occurs.
Is Continuity Escrow the same as cyber insurance?
No. Cyber insurance compensates you financially after operational failures cause losses. Continuity Escrow prevents those operational failures from occurring. We maintain your services during payment crises so you never experience the downtime that would trigger an insurance claim. Many businesses use both — insurance covers financial impact, while Continuity Escrow keeps you operational long enough to migrate.
