Software Verification

Certify your software resilience

Our automated and expert-led verification tests whether your software would hold up in a recovery, then provides certificates as proof your regulators and clients will accept.

Software assets stored in escrow are only useful if they work. Verification proves they will. Together, they build the software resilience evidence you need for regulatory compliance and enterprise deals.

Why gamble your recovery, or revenue, on untested assets?

An escrow deposit you've never tested is protection that exists only on paper. Verification answers the four questions that decide if it's a viable recovery strategy.

Depositor diligence

How certain are you the depositor lodged everything needed to keep the service running?

Comprehensiveness check

Has every component that matters been checked and accounted for?

Recovery readiness

If you had to restore from the deposit, would it get operations back online without issues?

Verified resilience

Could you show, on demand, that the software will keep running through anything?

We understand the compliance pressure you're under

The standards pushing you to prove your recovery ability keep multiplying: operational resilience under the FCA and PRA, the Critical Third Parties regime, DORA, NIS2, and ISO 27001. For over a decade, our specialists have helped thousands of teams turn that pressure into audit-ready proof, and yours can be next.

Showcase certificates that verify your software resilience

Codekeeper's software verification comes in three tiers, Validated, Verified, and Certified to test your deposited assets are safe and usable. Every tier issues a certificate documenting tested evidence to satisfy the operational resilience requirements of frameworks like the PRA, FCA, or DORA.

Build your software continuity proof

Add verification to your Codekeeper escrow solution to earn certificates that prove your systems meet the software resilience standards asked of you.

Document compliance to prevent interruptions

Verification checks your assets against the development and maintenance rules you've set, quarterly code updates being one example, and builds the findings into reports and certificates. Each one shows where you're compliant and where work remains, either filed automatically or signed off by our experts, so regulators stay satisfied and your software stays available.
document_compliance_3x
track_development_activity_3x

Track your development activity to stay aligned

Verification monitors every change to your software, from new code commits to config edits, by checking your deposit against your active repository or storage bucket. It records which assets moved and when, so your escrow keeps pace with development rather than falling behind.

Confirm your deposit contents are reliable

Verification scans what resides inside each escrow deposit ( source code, databases, and configs) then logs the specifics: file sizes, the people making changes, and the most recent updates. Automated tools catalogue everything held in your vault, while hands-on human build tests and reviews confirm it all matches your live software, so you're never missing what it takes to stay online.

Frequently asked questions

What is software verification?
Software verification puts your escrow deposits, source code, configurations, and the rest, through checks that confirm they're secure, complete, and able to run. It proves the deposit could carry business continuity if it were ever released, and issues certificates you can use for operational resilience compliance requirements.
What is the difference between software verification and validation?
The difference between software verification and validation comes down to what each one confirms. Validation confirms the required assets are all present in your deposit. Verification tests whether those assets are usable and reliable, with the depth increasing by tier, up to a full build at the Certified level.
What are the three verification levels?
The three verification levels are Validated, Verified, and Certified. Validated is a free tier that confirms the agreed assets, source code, documentation, and so on, are actually in the deposit. Verified layers on automated review to gauge quality and fit against production needs. Certified goes furthest, running a full software build to prove the deposit is fully operational.
What can be held in escrow?
Escrow can hold whatever software-related materials a recovery would call for: source code, system configurations, technical documentation, and any other critical digital assets needed to bring the software back when required.
Do Codekeeper verification certificates support UK operational resilience requirements?
Codekeeper verification certificates give firms under FCA and PRA operational resilience rules documented proof that a deposit has been tested and can be recovered. Because the certificate shows the software can actually be rebuilt, it stands as evidence toward the recoverability of an important business service, exactly what regulators and the UK Critical Third Parties regime expect firms to demonstrate for the third parties they depend on.
Which verification tier supports UK cyber and resilience regulations? 
The Certified tier supports UK cyber and resilience regulations by producing tested, human-reviewed proof that a deposit can be rebuilt and recovered. That evidence helps firms in scope of the UK NIS Regulations 2018, and the expanded duties coming under the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill, show their supply-chain dependencies are recoverable. For firms that also operate in the EU under DORA or NIS2, the same certificate carries across both regimes.
Are verification certificates recognised by UK auditors and clients? 
Verification certificates give UK auditors and clients independent, documented proof that your escrow deposit is complete, current, and recoverable. Rather than relying on your assurance alone, they get a Software Resilience Certificate backed by automated checks and, at the Certified tier, expert human review.
