The 5 Most Common IT Mistakes in Moroccan SMEs

After several years of supporting Moroccan businesses of various sizes, certain mistakes come up with striking regularity. They are not due to a lack of resources, but a lack of method — and are often avoidable with the right support.

1. No tested backups

Having backups is not enough: you also need to regularly verify that they can actually be restored. Many businesses discover their backup is corrupted at the worst possible moment.

2. Access rights that are never reviewed

Former employees who retain active access, permissions accumulated over the years without ever being cleaned up: access management is often the neglected side of IT security.

3. No overall view of the infrastructure

Equipment added over time, without documentation or an overall diagram, makes any intervention longer and riskier than it should be.

4. Security thought of as an afterthought

Too often, cybersecurity is addressed after an incident rather than upfront, at the start of IT projects.

5. No trusted provider identified

In an emergency, not knowing who to call costs precious time.
