Most businesses are entirely dependent on third-party tech and software to perform mission-critical business functions. This growing dependency introduces a significant layer of operational risk, particularly when software suppliers face insolvency, acquisition, or service discontinuation. It is vital for end-users to take proactive measures to mitigate their exposure to such vulnerabilities and ensure uninterrupted operations.
According to the Good Governance Code: King III, an escrow arrangement is the most effective tool for protecting the interests of heavily invested businesses.
