What is data escrow?
Data escrow is a legal arrangement in which a software supplier places essential operational data with an independent, trusted third party such as Codekeeper. That data stays under contract, encrypted, and access-controlled for the life of the agreement.
When a release condition is met, the escrowed datasets can be handed to the authorised party, so they can restore, support, or migrate their systems with the essential data intact.
Data escrow is one of several asset types within Codekeeper’s broader Software Escrow solution.
What unprotected data puts at risk
Most software can't function without its operational and customer data, and losing access to it stalls recovery, support, and stability overnight. Because of that, whenever that data also holds personal records, the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 demand you be able to restore access in good time after an incident.
What would you do if the application data you rely on becomes unavailable?
What restoration process would you use if your essential datasets were missing?
Which of your operations could you maintain if key data wasn't accessible?
How do you prove your data deposits are complete, accurate, and current?
Unlimited synced deposits for up-to-date data
Link your data sources once, and all changes are pulled in automatically from there, so your escrow always holds your latest datasets with no cap on how often you deposit.
Enhanced coverage for data protection with more features
With automated checks and add-ons like verification testing, Codekeeper offers a range of tools that make data escrow easier to maintain.
Assured recovery support you can count on
If release events occur, Codekeeper guides depositors and beneficiaries through restoring escrowed datasets, so that it can be recovered within FCA and PRA impact tolerances.
Adaptable monthly and annual plans
Adjust your escrow coverage as your business needs change, with none of the rigid lock-ins and hidden fees common elsewhere.
Online escrow management portals for all parties
Depositors and beneficiaries track deposits, updates, verification status, and release events from their own dashboards.
Hands-on customer support at all times
From onboarding to your latest upload, Codekeeper's team is on hand to assist you and check that every deposit is complete and secure.
From software risk to resilience
