Case Study: Texas Research International achieves scalable CMMC compliance with Summit 7 Vigilance MSSP

Texas Research International secures 300+ users with Summit 7

Texas Research International (TRI), a multidisciplinary research and engineering organization, faced the challenge of scaling its cybersecurity and meeting strict compliance standards like CMMC and NIST SP 800-171. With a lean 4-person IT team supporting over 300 users, TRI needed a cost-effective solution that provided expert guidance and 24/7 monitoring without expanding its internal headcount. Their existing vendors also lacked the necessary expertise for government cloud environments, prompting them to partner with Summit 7.

Summit 7 implemented its Vigilance MSSP and Guardian for Azure solutions to migrate TRI to Microsoft 365 GCC High and secure its cloud environments. This provided TRI with continuous security monitoring, proactive incident response, and direct access to experienced engineers. The solution allowed TRI to achieve scalable compliance, gain full use of Microsoft's security capabilities, and avoid the high cost of hiring multiple in-house security engineers, resulting in a unified and robust cybersecurity posture.
