We've been selected, and not just by our clients. Two of the technology industry's most respected voices, Matthew Rosenquist and Evan Kirstel, have hand-picked Bit by Bit for their curated directories on Clutch's B2B Expert Picks program.
This isn't a badge we bought or an award we entered. This is expert validation from thought leaders whose reputations depend on the quality of their recommendations. And we want to tell you what this means.
What Is Clutch's B2B Expert Picks Program?
Clutch is the leading global marketplace for B2B service providers, known for their verified client reviews and rigorous evaluation process. But their B2B Expert Picks program takes validation a step further.
Instead of relying solely on algorithms or client feedback, Clutch invites recognized industry thought leaders to curate their own directories of providers they personally trust and recommend.
Here's how it works: Industry experts with deep domain knowledge review provider performance data, client feedback, and capabilities. They personally select companies that meet their standards. Their reputation is on the line with every selection. These curated lists serve their audiences when choosing partners.
Why this matters: Being chosen by experts means peer validation from industry leaders, not just client satisfaction. It means expert vetting of our capabilities and approach. It means thought leader endorsement that carries weight in IT and cybersecurity circles.
Businesses increasingly rely on expert-curated recommendations when selecting service providers because industry veterans can identify genuine value beyond marketing claims.
We've been included in two expert-curated directories:
Let us introduce you to the experts who chose us.
Meet Matthew Rosenquist: Cybersecurity Strategist and Thought Leader
Matthew Rosenquist is one of the most recognized voices in cybersecurity worldwide.
He spent over 25 years as Intel's Chief Cybersecurity Strategist, advising Fortune 500 companies on cyber risk, threat intelligence, and security operations. He's a regular contributor to Forbes, Dark Reading, and CSO Online. He's a keynote speaker at major cybersecurity conferences globally. And he has over 500,000 followers across social platforms who rely on his insights to navigate an increasingly dangerous threat landscape.
His directory: "Cybersecurity Insights with Matthew Rosenquist"
Matthew curates this directory for business leaders and IT decision-makers who need to separate cybersecurity reality from marketing hype. When Matthew recommends a provider, it means he's evaluated their capabilities, reviewed their client results, and believes they can actually deliver protection, not just promises.
Why his selection matters:
Matthew doesn't endorse companies lightly. His credibility in the cybersecurity community depends on recommending providers who understand that security operations are fundamentally different from security tools. Providers who can close the operations gap for organizations without dedicated security teams. Providers who deliver real business resilience.
What he likely saw in Bit by Bit:
Our partnership with for 24/7 Security Operations Center monitoring. Our focus on the operations gap that leaves most small and midsized businesses vulnerable despite having security tools in place. Our client testimonials emphasizing peace of mind about cybersecurity. Our transparent approach to security recommendations based on what clients actually need, not what generates the most revenue.
Matthew selected providers who make enterprise-grade security operations accessible to organizations without enterprise budgets. That's exactly what we've built.
Meet Evan Kirstel: B2B Technology Analyst and Digital Influencer
Evan Kirstel is a leading voice in B2B technology with over 30 years in telecommunications and IT.
He's been named a Top 10 B2B Tech Influencer by Onalytica. He has over 1 million followers across LinkedIn, Twitter, and other platforms. He's a regular contributor to VentureBeat and TechCrunch. He advises tech companies and startups on strategy and market positioning. And he's known for one thing above all else: cutting through marketing hype to find genuine value.
His directory: "Evan Kirstel's Trusted IT Providers"
Evan curates this directory for business leaders researching IT partners. When Evan recommends a provider, it means he's evaluated their track record, examined their client feedback, and believes they deliver on their promises. His audience trusts his judgment because he doesn't promote companies that talk a good game. He promotes companies that play a good game.
Why his selection matters:
Evan has seen every IT provider pitch imaginable. He knows the difference between slick marketing and actual performance. He understands what small and midsized businesses need from their technology partners: reliability, clear communication, honest guidance, and results that impact the bottom line.
What he likely saw in Bit by Bit:
Our 35+ years of consistent performance serving clients across nonprofits, legal, architecture, engineering, and financial services. Our client reviews emphasizing transparency and business-first approach. Our "No Geek Speak" philosophy that makes technology understandable. Our refusal to push products clients don't need just to generate revenue. Our track record of becoming an extension of our clients' teams rather than just another vendor.
Evan selected providers who deliver genuine partnership. That's what we've built our reputation on.
