Rescue Engineering

Vibe-coded it? Let’s make it production-ready.

AI tools ship apps fast, and often insecure, fragile, and impossible to extend. We audit, secure, and rebuild AI-generated codebases so you can run a real business on them.

Rescue Engineering is the practice of auditing, securing, and rebuilding applications built with AI coding tools (like Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, Replit, and Claude Code) so they are secure, maintainable, and safe to run a business on.

Sound familiar?

Signs your AI-built app needs a rescue

  • It works in the demo, but breaks with real users
  • You (or your investors) can’t tell if it’s actually secure
  • Exposed API keys, or no real authentication
  • You’ve hit a wall trying to add the next feature
  • No tests, no CI/CD, and one person (or no one) understands the code
  • A security scare, data leak, or a failed audit
  • You need to hand it to a real engineering team

If you nodded at even one, start with a free Risk Scan.

The Rescue Ladder

Start where you are. Pay for what you need.

A cheap, fast on-ramp. Then only go as far up as your app requires.

AI App Risk Scan

Free

Same week

A senior engineer reviews your app and runs automated checks, then gives you a red / yellow / green risk snapshot, no commitment.

  • 15-minute review + automated scan
  • Top security & stability risks
  • Honest “is it salvageable?” answer
Book the scan

Stabilize & Harden

from $8,000 CAD

1–3 weeks

We make your app production-ready without a full rewrite: close critical security holes, add real auth, tests, CI/CD, and monitoring.

  • Fix criticals & add authentication
  • Tests, CI/CD & monitoring
  • Safe, repeatable deployments

Rescue & Rebuild

Custom quote

Scoped after audit

When the foundation can’t be saved, we re-architect on a maintainable stack (Laravel, PHP, React/Vue), migrate your data, and ship.

  • Re-architect on a solid foundation
  • Data migration, zero-loss cutover
  • Owned, documented codebase
Start here

Ongoing Safeguard

from $2,500 CAD / mo

Monthly

Keep moving fast with AI. We keep it safe. Ongoing code review, security, and fractional engineering so your next feature doesn’t become your next fire.

  • Continuous code & security review
  • Fractional senior engineering
  • Guardrails for your AI workflow
Start here

Prices in CAD. Audits are credited toward any work that follows. The scan and audit pay for themselves.

Why IT-TECH

The adults in the room for AI-built software

Senior engineers, not prompt jockeys

15+ years shipping production software since 2010: the people you want when it has to actually work.

Security-first by default

We audit and harden for a living. Our own site ships with HSTS, CSP, and a locked-down attack surface. We do the same for you.

Rescue, don’t rewrite

We salvage what’s solid and replace only what’s dangerous: the fastest safe path to production, not a blank-slate rebuild.

A real, modern stack

Laravel, PHP, React, Vue, and Node: battle-tested foundations your app can grow on.

From rescue to growth

Once it’s stable, the same team can take you further: SEO, AI-search visibility, and new features, under one roof.

Confidential & Canada-based

NDA-backed, least-privilege access, bilingual EN/FR, serving founders across North America and Europe.

How it works

From “it’s on fire” to production-ready

01

Book a free Risk Scan

Tell us what you built and what’s going wrong. We review it and tell you honestly where you stand.

02

We audit

3–5 days: a clear report of every risk, ranked, plus a fixed-price plan to fix it.

03

We stabilize or rebuild

We close the holes and make it production-ready, salvaging your work wherever we safely can.

04

You get owned, safe code

Documented, tested, deployable, and an optional ongoing safeguard so it stays that way.

FAQ

Questions founders ask

Do you rewrite everything from scratch?

No. We’re rescue-first: we keep what’s solid and replace only what’s unsafe or unmaintainable. A full rebuild only happens when the foundation genuinely can’t be saved, and we’ll tell you that honestly after the audit.

How much does it cost?

The Risk Scan is free. A Rescue Audit starts at $1,500 CAD and is credited toward any work that follows. Stabilization and rebuilds are quoted as a fixed price after the audit, no open-ended hourly surprises.

How fast can you start?

The Risk Scan happens the same week. Audits take 3–5 business days; most stabilization projects run 1–3 weeks depending on scope.

Is my code and idea kept confidential?

Yes. We work under NDA on request, use least-privilege access, and your code and IP remain entirely yours.

Which AI tools do you support?

Any AI-generated codebase: Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, Replit, v0, Claude Code, Windsurf, Copilot, and more. The problems are similar across tools; the fixes are what matter.

What if my app is beyond saving?

We’ll tell you straight, and give you the fastest, safest path forward, usually a targeted rebuild of the risky parts rather than starting from zero.

Free AI App Risk Scan

Find out what’s wrong before your users (or attackers) do.

Tell us what you built and what’s going wrong. A senior engineer reviews it and sends back a clear risk snapshot, no cost, no obligation.

  • A red / yellow / green risk snapshot
  • The top security & stability issues we spot
  • An honest “is it salvageable?” answer + next steps

Tip: in the message, tell us which AI tool you used, a link to the app or repo (if you can share one), and what’s going wrong.
