Shaun Stanley

Security Solution Area Specialist (Defense Industrial Base) – Microsoft

Shaun Stanley is a Security Solution Area Specialist at Microsoft and a retired U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander with more than 20 years in cybersecurity. He advises defense industrial base organizations on CMMC Level 2 readiness and Microsoft 365 GCC High adoption, translating NIST 800-171, ITAR, and FedRAMP requirements into practical Microsoft cloud architectures. His career spans defensive cyberspace operations and communications leadership across the U.S. Navy, including deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, before moving into cloud security and compliance for government and commercial organizations. He speaks to getting more out of the Microsoft tools contractors already own: licensing choices, the difference between GCC and GCC High, enclave options, and reaching CMMC Level 2 without over-buying.
