IT project rescue in Morocco: audit, stabilization and recovery

Step one is recovering all access: source code (Git repository), servers, databases, domain names, cloud accounts and SSL certificates. If the vendor has disappeared, we help you recover access from hosting providers and registrars, since the source code and data belong to you under Moroccan contract law. We then run a 72h code audit to assess quality, security and technical debt, and produce a diagnosis: keep the code, refactor critical parts or rebuild. Work starts with emergency fixes (stability, security) before rolling out the recovery roadmap. Example: a SaaS application in Casablanca, vendor gone with no documentation, stabilized in 2 weeks and transitioned to maintenance. First technical contact within 48h.

The initial 72h audit is a fixed fee, typically MAD 8,000 to 25,000 depending on project size (number of modules, applications, infrastructure complexity). Stabilization is billed per 2-week sprint, with a typical budget of MAD 30,000 to 80,000 per sprint. Total cost depends on the diagnosis: a project needing only security fixes and monitoring can be stabilized in 2 to 4 weeks (MAD 60,000 to 120,000), while a partial architecture rebuild may span 2 to 4 months (MAD 150,000 to 400,000). For comparison, French agencies charge 2 to 3 times more for equivalent scope. Ongoing maintenance (TMA) then uses our Bronze, Silver or Gold packages. Example: rescue of a hacked PrestaShop e-commerce site in Rabat, 72h audit plus 3 stabilization sprints, around MAD 110,000 all-in. Free quote within 48h.

The decision rests on three criteria assessed during the audit: structural code quality (architecture, tests, coupling), technical debt level (maintenance effort vs. evolution effort ratio), and functional fit (does the code do what the business needs). Generally, keeping and refactoring is the right strategy when the code covers 70% or more of functional needs and the architecture is sound even if the code is messy. Rebuilding is justified when the architecture itself is a blocker (non-decomposable monolith, obsolete framework with no migration path, structurally broken security). We always favor progressive refactoring: lower risk, lower cost and faster value delivery. Rebuilding does not mean throwing away — we migrate module by module to limit risk. Example: a business application in Tangier, 60% of code kept, 40% rebuilt over 3 months. Free decision audit within 72h.

AI-generated code often works initially but becomes problematic at scale. According to an AlphaXiv study (2026), 22.7% of issues introduced by AI-generated code persist in production undetected. Recurring causes: no automated tests, massive duplication, incoherent architecture (each prompt produces an isolated solution), outdated or incompatible dependencies, and superficial error handling. We handle this type of project increasingly often: the audit identifies which modules to keep, which to refactor and which to rewrite. Priority is restoring tests, reducing duplication and documenting the architecture so the code is maintainable by a human team. Example: a Cursor-generated SaaS MVP for a Casablanca startup, stabilized in 4 weeks with test coverage and critical module refactoring. Tell us about your project: diagnosis within 72h.

Step 1: determine whether it is an application issue (500 errors, infinite loop, memory leak) or infrastructure (saturated server, full database, expired certificate). Step 2: activate graceful degradation if possible (maintenance page, static cache, disable the faulty feature). Step 3: contact a technical team that can intervene immediately. At Eurastech, we mobilize a senior engineer the same day for critical incidents: diagnosis, emergency fix, then thorough audit once production is stable. Most frequent causes in Morocco: unanticipated traffic spikes (marketing campaigns, Ramadan, back-to-school), untested plugin updates, undersized servers, or DDoS attacks. Our average time to resolution is 4 to 8 hours for common incidents. Call us or reach out on WhatsApp: immediate intervention.

In Morocco, the general rule is that the commissioning party (the client) owns the source code when the service contract includes a rights transfer clause, which is the case in the vast majority of custom development contracts. Without an explicit clause, the Moroccan Code of Obligations and Contracts and Law 02-00 on copyright apply: economic rights can be transferred to the commissioning party when the work was created under a commission contract. In practice: check your service contract, terms and conditions, and invoices. If the vendor refuses to hand over the source code, a formal notice followed by legal action is possible. We help you build the case and recover your digital assets. Preventive advice: always require source code to be hosted on your own Git account (GitHub, GitLab) from day one.

Once the project is stabilized (critical fixes applied, monitoring in place, documentation up to date), we offer a transition to ongoing application maintenance (TMA) with three service levels. Bronze: 5-day support, 8h response time, monthly report. Silver: 6-day support, 4h response time, dedicated project manager. Gold: 24/7 support, 1h response time, premium runbook and FinOps optimization. The transition is seamless: the team that stabilized the project already knows the code and architecture, avoiding a fresh onboarding. Our TMA packages systematically include: security monitoring (CVE), dependency updates, application monitoring, and a monthly evolution budget for small improvements. Example: an e-commerce site in Casablanca transitioned from stabilization to Silver TMA in 3 weeks, monthly budget around MAD 12,000. Let us discuss your needs: free first consultation within 48h.
