Diagram explaining what SaaS Escrow is.

What is SaaS escrow?

SaaS escrow is a three-party agreement between cloud service providers, users, and Codekeeper. Providers deposit source code, databases, configurations, and deployment assets into secure vaults. We maintain these materials with automated daily syncs. When specified conditions trigger, users gain access to rebuild or migrate their cloud systems independently.
SaaS escrow prevents:
Complete operational shutdown when cloud platforms go offline
Data loss from services you can't access or export
Stranded applications with no path to recovery or migration
Months spent reverse-engineering systems from scratch
Rejected enterprise sales requiring documented continuity plans

"Codekeeper really came through for us when we were onboarding an enterprise customer for our SaaS business. Having them in the mix made the customer feel so much more at ease, and honestly, it saved us about 5 000 EUR we didn't have to spend on lawyers to set up the escrow agreement."

Frequently asked questions

What is SaaS escrow?

SaaS escrow is a legal agreement that ensures cloud-software customers can retain access to the technical components required to operate their application. In this arrangement, the SaaS provider deposits source code, infrastructure details, and other essential materials with a neutral escrow agent such as Codekeeper, who safeguards them for both parties and releases them if a qualifying disruption occurs.

Can you escrow SaaS software?
Absolutely — you can escrow SaaS software. SaaS escrow locks away your cloud app’s essentials with a trusted third party (like Codekeeper) to guarantee access and recovery in case anything goes wrong.
How does SaaS Escrow help you build digital resilience?
SaaS Escrow builds software resilience by covering your app end-to-end so crashes don’t take you down with them. It helps you keep revenue flowing and users happy.
What is protected by a SaaS escrow agreement?
Your source code, application data, deployment configs, digital documents, and unique tech designs all stay safe and accessible under a tailored legal SaaS escrow framework.
What proof of protection does a SaaS Escrow provide?
You receive a Software Resilience Certificate to prove you've taken the necessary steps to protect your assets and satisfy clients and regulators.
What makes SaaS Escrow different from traditional software escrow?
Traditional escrow protects on-premises software with periodic code deposits. SaaS Escrow captures your entire cloud environment with automated daily syncs of code, databases, configurations, and deployment assets.
What are the key requirements of a SaaS escrow?
A strong SaaS escrow requires a solid agreement, regular asset deposits — like code and configs — and automated syncs to ensure your cloud apps stay protected and recoverable.
What are the benefits of SaaS Escrow?
Escrow for SaaS applications guarantees uptime, slashes traditional legal costs by $5,000 per client, saves 40+ DevOps hours, and delivers peace of mind with ironclad resilience.
Do we need SaaS Escrow if we have a Disaster Recovery plan in place?
Yes, disaster recovery helps mitigate loss after disruptions have happened. But SaaS Escrow (as a SaaS recovery solution) prevents any loss by preserving your app’s core components, so you can redeploy your up-to-date systems whenever you need to.

Let's build bulletproof software resilience together.
