Security & Trust
Encryption in transit & at rest (AES-256)All data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2+ and at rest with AES-256 on Microsoft Azure.
Microsoft Entra sign-in (OID-based)Sign-in is handled by Microsoft Entra External ID — we never store your password, and members are identified by an immutable object ID, never by a changeable email.
Database-enforced tenant isolationEvery unit's data is isolated at two layers — application query filters and database row-level security — so one unit can never see another's records.
Field-level encryption of sensitive dataHealth-record fields and payment-connection tokens receive an additional layer of application-level AES-256 field encryption on top of database encryption.
Tamper-evident signed audit trailSensitive actions are recorded in a cryptographically signed, hash-chained audit log whose signing key never leaves Azure Key Vault — so records can't be silently altered.
COPPA under-13 consent enforcementAccounts for Scouts under 13 stay inactive until a parent provides verifiable consent — enforced automatically in the platform, not just documented.
Recycle bin — undo a deletionA leader-only Recycle Bin lists what's been deleted in your unit, newest first, with who deleted it and when, and restores it in one click: events, attendance, photos, budgets, sign-offs.
—
Self-service privacy rights requestsAny member can file an access, deletion, correction, opt-out or portability request and track its status, with a response deadline set by their state's privacy law (45 days by default).
Parent-controlled photo consent for the public siteA photo reaches your public site only after a leader clears it, and stays withheld if anyone tagged lacks photo consent, which for a youth only a parent or guardian can grant or withdraw.
Report a photo for reviewMembers can report a gallery photo. Nudity, violence, harassment and privacy reports hide it at once; spam or wrong-album reports only flag it. Leaders dismiss, keep hidden or restore.

Communication & Directory
Safeguarding Youth compliant communicationsEvery communication feature below operates under Scouting America youth-safety rules, and they are not optional extras. Adult-to-youth contact is gated on current Safeguarding Youth Training, and every conversation involving youth — direct messages as well as channels — requires two registered, SYT-current adults present, per the Guide to Safe Scouting. Both are enforced in the same code path as messaging itself, on every plan that includes messaging. There is no setting that turns them off.
—
Member directory with search & filterSearchable directory of all unit members with contact info, roles, patrol assignments, and quick-action buttons.
In-app messagingSend direct messages to individual members, patrol leaders, or parents within the platform — no external app needed. Covered by the youth-safety guarantee above.
—
Bulk announcements (unit-wide)Send announcements to your entire unit with a single message. Delivered via in-app notification and optional email.
—
Push notificationsReal-time push notifications for event changes, new announcements, advancement updates, and message replies.
—
Message read receiptsLeaders can see exactly who has and hasn't read a message or announcement — with a green/red breakdown of all recipients. Perfect for ensuring critical communications are seen.

Channel chat (event-linked)Real-time channel-based chat similar to Slack — create channels for your unit, specific events, or patrols. Event channels automatically open when an event is created and archive when it ends.
—
—
Bulk communications to filtered groupsMessage filtered groups — by patrol, role, event registration, or custom selection. Each recipient is reached through the channel they chose in their notification preferences.
—
Message reporting with a leader queueMembers report a direct message or channel post with a reason, including youth safety. Leaders work them in an Open / Reviewed / Dismissed queue and resolve several at once with one note.
—
Send unit email from your own Microsoft 365Send your unit's event and direct email through your own Microsoft 365 tenant so it comes from your unit's address. Sign-up, invitations, digests and reminders still send from MySummitKeep.
—
—
Unit surveys with results and response rateBuild a survey from short-answer, paragraph, pick-one and rating questions, then copy a respond link to send out. Leaders see tallies, averages, free-text answers and the response rate.
—
Unit keyword rules that auto-flag messagesLeaders add their own words or regular-expression patterns, each with a severity: lower ones file a report for leaders, higher ones also hold the message back or refuse it at send.
—
Parent communication feedParents get one feed per Scout: messages their Scout sent or received, completed advancement, and event sign-ups. Held-for-review messages never appear; leaders can switch it off unit-wide.
—
Per-channel communication preferencesEach member sets their own preferences. Turning off marketing email or SMS records a dated consent-ledger entry and stops those sends. Choices follow you across every unit you belong to.

—
Household/family linkageLink parents, guardians, and siblings within households so updates and communications reach the whole family.

Account verification queueA signup that matches a member record you imported queues for an admin to verify the claim, with the details that matched and a High, Medium or Low confidence label, then approve or reject it.
