Active Escrow & Secure Vault Suite
Intellectual
Property (IP) is the life blood of an organization. Whether it's a secret
formula, manufacturing process that has been perfected over years, or
customized software application, protecting confidential IP from inadvertent
exposure is paramount. Effectively and efficiently keeping the company's
information assets secure doesn't happen by accident. Organizations today
struggle with allowing partners access to crucial business information while
balancing the need to protect their trade secrets and confidential Intellectual
Property. Without finding a solution that ensures secure access, business
leaders risk losing control of their IP or walking away from key opportunities
to improve their organization through partnering.
NCC Group’s Secure Vault Suite™
provides a patent-pending, secure, active repository that enables both software
developers and IP owners to collaborate and work in real-time within a secure
environment. Developers can update their IP to a secure repository managed by
NCC Group, making it virtually impossible to copy or pirate. Both developers
and partners access the repository for interaction and cooperation knowing the
risk of full transference has been eliminated. While the Escrow agreement
provides framework for the access level granted to both parties, the Secure
Vault Suite speeds-up innovation while ensuring IP owners control of their data
by providing visibility, search capabilities, robust reporting, and secure
collaboration.
The Secure Vault Suite
comprises of three unique solutions that extend the functionality of Escrowed
Intellectual Property.
- The Active Escrow Repository
allows for “real-time” deposits into an Escrow account and produces
sophisticated reports detailing the additions and changes to a source code
repository. It also features on-demand decryption/encryption of files to reduce
cycle time when accessing deposit information.
- The Secure Inspection Portal
allows companies to securely review a developer’s confidential work without
compromising the source code to unauthorized use. Users have the ability to
view, inspect, and validate source code without modifying/replicating it,
thereby ensuring IP loss risk mitigation. Multiple parties can review code
simultaneously, encouraging a flexible workforce while reducing project
resource costs.
- The Secure Development Environment
allows IP owners to extend controlled access to their proprietary source code
to 3rd development partners. This fully featured, secure,
development environment seamlessly integrates with CVS and Subversion (SVN). Instant
remote access is available to view, inspect, validate, and co-develop source
code. By supporting multiple programming languages and operating systems, this
solution ensures operational consistency and eliminates additional training. The
AlwaysON
security model eliminates the potential “breach” risk normally associated with
code reviews of 3rd party development efforts.
