Where in the World Can Deposits for Software Escrow Be Stored?
Published on 20/11/2025
To date, we’ve worked with over 3,000 clients from across 45+ countries. A common question that we get asked is ‘what global regions are deposits and documentation stored in?’. The answer to this question is that we store deposits in the following global regions:
By having a Software Escrow Solution in place, a business can manage risks associated with third-party provider risk and ensure the continuity of their operations. Let’s put this into a real world example:
Scenario: A large retail chain relies on a third‑party SaaS provider for its inventory management system. This platform tracks stock levels, automates reordering, and integrates with point‑of‑sale systems across hundreds of stores.
The risk: If the SaaS provider suddenly goes bankrupt, gets acquired, or suffers a major outage, the retailer could lose access to the software and its critical data. That would disrupt supply chains, cause stockouts, and potentially cost millions in lost sales.
The solution: The retailer and SaaS provider agree to deposit the application’s source code, documentation, and deployment instructions with a trusted Escrow agent. The agreement states that if the provider fails to meet obligations (e.g., insolvency, service discontinuation), the Escrow agent releases the materials to the retailer.
The outcome: When the SaaS provider unexpectedly shuts down, the Escrow agent releases the source code. The retailer’s IT team (or a new vendor) can then deploy and maintain the system internally or migrate to another platform. Operations continue with minimal disruption.
At SES Secure, once our team of in-house experts have received deposits of source code and other materials, rigorous testing exercises are conducted to ensure that these materials are accurate, up to date, and can be successfully redeployed. Also, in line with any updates that are made to a software application, we accept unlimited deposits. This ensures that in the event of an Escrow release, the latest version of a software application is available.
SES Secure are able to store deposits and other materials in the global regions stated in the opening section of this article.
