More than fancy alliteration,
our name means cloud security.

WE KNOW COMPLIANCE IN THE MICROSOFT GOVERNMENT CLOUD

For more than a decade, Summit 7's focus has been data protection and governance. The company recently received the Microsoft Partner Award for Compliance due to extensive work with the Microsoft Government Cloud platforms over the last four years to address the critical cybersecurity issues facing the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).
 
Over 700 DoD contractors rely on Summit 7's solutions and services to meet DFARS 7012, 7019, 7020, 7021, and the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)

We're in the business of transforming how companies tackle security and compliance in the cloud.

FIGHT AGAINST THE AVERAGE – ONE SYSTEM, PLATFORM, AND ENVIRONMENT AT A TIME

As humans, there is a common thread of imperfection in how we communicate, collaborate, and protect our organizations’ resources. Perfection is not our absolute goal, but the average is not ok. Every member of the Summit 7 team wakes up and pours their cup of coffee or Mountain Dew; and then jumps on your project, steps on stage at a conference, pens a blog, or turns on the mic for a new webinar – all for the sake of fighting against the average. Far too many outside forces are looking to compromise your data, get a competitive leg up on your business, or sling out bad advice. That is why we want to prepare our readership and customers with the best ammo to fight average. #loadup

ORGANIZATIONS WANT TO WORK FASTER, SMARTER, AND SIMPLER.

SUMMIT 7 PROVIDES YOU WITH A SECURE WAY TO WORK.

Incorporated in 2009, Summit 7 Systems was founded upon the collective concern of our two founding partners, Scott Edwards and Ben Curry, while establishing the first instance of Microsoft SharePoint at NASA. This concern was driven by the fact that technology was shifting faster than organizations could reasonably manage or govern – Summit 7 Systems was created to enable organizations to find a secure way to work with modern technology.
