When software which is essential for the business is purchased, the purchaser runs the risk that at some time the supplier may for some reason no longer be available for updating and further development. It is generally arranged that in such cases the licensee can access the code, which in the meantime is stored by an independent third party. In addition, an independent assessment of the software can be used to confirm that the software can continue to be used and updated without the supplier. 

In cooperation with HanseEscrow Management, TÜViT offers a multi-stage concept for testing and certification of stored software products.
