When the stakes are high, and the systems are down, who do governments and enterprises in the Netherlands call? Bart Lageweg, founder of Bizway, has built one of Europe’s most trusted MSPs by running toward the toughest IT challenges—cyberattacks, ransomware recovery, and compliance-critical crises.

In this episode of Now That’s IT: Stories of MSP Success, host Chris Massey sits down with Bart to explore how Bizway thrives in the “firefighter” role of managed services. They discuss:

• How Bart turned a solo IT operation into a leading cybersecurity-focused MSP
• The strategy behind small, frequent acquisitions and high-value client selection
• Why compliance (including NIS2) is both a sales tool and a security necessity
• How to lead and scale without losing the agility to handle emergencies
• The role of coaching, boards, and constant evolution in MSP leadership

Whether you’re building an MSP, leading an internal IT team, or navigating the shift toward compliance-driven services, this conversation offers a rare inside look at thriving in high-stakes IT environments.
