Kevin Scharf

About

Internal audit/GRC professional who partners closely with engineering on access controls, change management, and remediation—often translating "technically compliant" states into realistic threat scenarios and business impact. Has driven measurable reductions in privileged-access exposure through least-privilege resets and recurring reviews, and has hands-on experience troubleshooting real-world deployment/integration issues (including in a manufacturing environment) using logs/metrics and strong escalation documentation.

Key Strengths

• Translates security/control risk into business impact for leadership while staying actionable for engineers
• Drives phased remediation plans that balance sprint capacity with risk reduction
• Measures impact via retesting and ongoing adherence reviews (not just one-time fixes)
• Improves privileged access controls by mapping roles to required permissions and resetting to least privilege
• Troubleshoots intermittent deployment/integration failures using logs/metrics and correlation analysis
• Produces high-signal escalation documentation (timestamps, log excerpts, impact scope, suspected root cause) to accelerate engineering fixes
• Builds preventive operational practices (pre-deployment verification, standardized configs, troubleshooting playbooks)
• Runs structured multi-customer onboarding with milestone-based plans, visible risk/issue tracking, and proactive expectation management
• Built and founded a golf media brand (Mulligan Masters) and created high-energy broadcast-style intros to improve early viewer retention
• Strong performance-marketing creative mindset (optimizes for retention, conversion, comprehension)
• High-velocity iteration process (rapid V2/V3 within 24–48 hours) with post-mortems and learnings
• Scalable Figma systems for high-volume output using variables/tokens, auto-layout, nested variants, and shared libraries to prevent quality drift
• Modular template frameworks to produce many short-form variations quickly while avoiding repetition (rotating hooks, typography treatments, colors, pacing)
• Cross-platform versioning and exports tailored to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube requirements
