Software Escrow for the Public Sector

From governing bodies to local councils, organisations in the public sector depend on software systems to deliver essential services, manage sensitive data, and maintain the trust of the public. With this in mind, it’s imperative that the public sector strives to be as operationally resilient and robust as possible when it comes to approaching and overcoming software risk.

Currently, the public sector operates under intense scrutiny, with obligations to citizens, regulators, and stakeholders. Any disruption to core systems, whether for education, transportation, or public safety, can have wide‑ranging consequences. Business continuity and risk mitigation strategies are therefore fundamental, enabling organisations to maintain service delivery, protect sensitive information, and uphold accountability despite vendor insolvency or failures.
