Data protection for Moroccan businesses: what actually has to change
Inventory personal information across applications, exports and backups before defining access and retention.

Start an application security review with the accounts and data your business depends on. An unused administrator login or an exposed backup deserves attention alongside flaws in the application itself. This checklist helps organise a review; it does not replace an assessment of your specific threats.
Use individual accounts for administrators and enable multi-factor authentication on email, hosting and the domain registrar. Review permissions when people change roles or leave. Store application secrets outside public code and replace default credentials.
Record where sensitive data and backups live, who can reach them and how long you keep them. Protect transfers and storage according to the data involved. Use fictional or appropriately anonymised data in test environments.
A backup needs a restore test. Recover it into an isolated environment, confirm the records are usable and document the procedure and responsible person.
Track dependency vulnerabilities and relevant fixes. Select controls around the application’s threats rather than treating this short list as a complete audit.
Log important actions without unnecessarily recording personal data or secrets. Protect those logs and define who can pause the service, revoke access and restore it. A procedure that nobody can find during an incident needs revision.
Assign an owner and a review schedule to each control. Repeat the relevant checks after changes to users, suppliers or the application. Our security service can help define the review scope; a checklist alone does not establish compliance or guarantee protection.
