- Review contracts and data-processing agreements for every third-party service.

For clients in Morocco we usually host on Cape Town or Johannesburg cloud regions, or EU regions where permitted. The choice balances latency for local users, Law 09-08 requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
