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.
