Stop Barking Up the Wrong Tree
Forrest has opinions — and he's not afraid to share them. Before you sign for the next shiny IT tool, make sure you've matched the right solution to the right problem. Technical depth matters.

"Woof. Pick the right tree."
Why technical depth matters before buying IT solutions
It's easy to chase the loudest tool in the room. Vendors promise quick wins, dashboards look impressive, and procurement gets comfortable. But if the solution doesn't match the underlying risk — identity, endpoint, Microsoft 365 governance, user behaviour — you're barking up the wrong tree.
The right managed IT partner starts with the problem, not the product. They map risk to controls, controls to outcomes, and outcomes to reporting your leaders can use.
- Map the actual problem before evaluating tools
- Check assumptions about identity, endpoint and Microsoft 365 posture
- Confirm the vendor's depth in security, not just sales
- Align controls to cyber insurance and business risk
