About Summit 7
WHAT WE DO
We Protect the American Dream.
Our specialty is enabling Department of Defense contractors to win more contracts through next-level cybersecurity and compliance.
We help the defense supply chain protect America's data and future generations of the United States Warfighter. We do that by implementing the right security and compliance measures in the Microsoft Government Cloud.
With over 1,000 Defense Industrial Base suppliers as customers, we're CMMC, CUI, ITAR, NIST 800-171, and DFARS experts.
Protecting the American Dream
Cyber attacks pose significant threats to our defense infrastructure and the American Dream. At Summit 7, we're dedicated to providing cybersecurity solutions that safeguard the systems and data our warfighters and defense contractors rely on.
Headquartered in the "Rocket City" – Huntsville, Alabama – we carry a deep conviction that what we do matters to our community and to our nation, both now and for future generations.
