Benefits

What You Get With Guardian

Your Organization’s Challenge

Managing Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in Microsoft environments, while meeting International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR0/ Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 7012 requirements, requires purpose-built infrastructure and oversight.

What You Get

A fully managed Microsoft 365 Government Community Cloud (GCC) High and Azure Gov environment, maintained by experts who understand the stakes so you’re never left guessing whether your IT supports secure operations.

Your Organization’s Challenge

Your internal teams are stretched thin, juggling help desk issues, patching, backups, and IT configuration, leaving little time for strategic work.

What You Get

We handle the day-to-day tasks (like patching, backups, and endpoint management) so that your team can focus on what matters most without burnout or backlog.

Your Organization’s Challenge

Hiring and training internal IT staff who understand defense requirements is expensive, time-consuming, and often still leaves gaps.

What You Get

With Guardian, you get access to specialized IT services for less than the cost of building and maintaining a full in-house team with equivalent knowledge.

Your Organization’s Challenge

Generic Managed Service Providers (MSPs) lack knowledge of GCC High, Azure Gov, and DoW contracting, and that leads to missteps and audit risk.

What You Get

Summit 7’s team lives and breathes defense compliance, bringing specialized IT management that’s already aligned with your operational and regulatory needs.
