THE SUMMIT 7 DIFFERENCE
What Makes IKE Enclave Different?
Relying on shared or multi‑tenant enclaves risks losing access to your own data if your provider makes a mistake. And if all goes well, scaling out of a shared environment means rebuilding a compliant environment from the ground up.
The Path Forward with IKE Enclave
IKE is in beta with early access clients. Once trials finish and the program is refined, we expect general availability in Q1 2027.

Why Summit 7
Why the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) Prefers Summit 7
2x Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 Certified
Summit 7 holds dual CMMC Level 2 certifications, with one demonstrating company-wide compliance and the second validating Guardian and Vigilance Managed Services offerings. Support from a CMMC-certified Managed Service Provider (MSP) gives you an advantage in pursuing your own certification.
100% Pass Rate in Supported Client CMMC Assessments
CMMC compliance is a competitive edge that elevates you in the eyes of the government and prime contractors. 100% of Summit 7-supported CMMC assessments have resulted in a passing score.
Microsoft Azure Expert MSP
Azure Expert MSPs have passed rigorous assessment procedures and demonstrated the highest level of expertise in Microsoft cloud services and Microsoft Azure capabilities. Summit 7 was among the first in the world to earn the Microsoft Azure Expert MSP designation and remains one of the only Azure U.S. Government Cloud-focused organizations to achieve it.
