Lyrics

  1. C-I-S slides in first—eighteen safeguards strong,
  2. A prioritized playbook to keep everyday threats gone.
  3. Offense fuels defense, baby, focus keeps it lean,
  4. Feasible steps you can measure—alignment nice and clean.
  5. Think hardware, software, patches—baseline’s tight, just so;
  6. We keep the lights low, but dashboards always glow.
  7. ♪ It’s hard to keep control—but the CIS groove makes it flow. ♪
  8. N-I-S-T eight-double-oh-fifty-three,
  9. A federal control catalog that covers land, cloud, and sea.
  10. Twenty control families—access, audit, IR too;
  11. Pick a Low, Mod, or High baseline that’s custom-fit for you.
  12. Assess, authorize, monitor—continuous is the game,
  13. When regulators come courting, you’ll whisper compliance by name.
  14. ♪ Hard to keep control—but NIST keeps the tempo just right. ♪
  15. Twenty-seven-oh-oh-two—global best-practice vibe,
  16. Nineteen clauses guiding every org, every tribe.
  17. People, tech, and policy in one harmonized tune,
  18. Map to CIS or NIST, let the crosswalks make you swoon.
  19. From asset to supplier, it standardizes the scene—
  20. International romance keeping data nice and clean.
  21. Oh, it’s hard to keep control, but frameworks light the way;
  22. CIS sets the groove, NIST holds the beat, ISO smoothes the sway.
  23. Slide a little closer to compliance—metrics sparkle, dashboards shine;
  24. With these three models guiding us, our posture feels divine.
  25. “Controls selected, hearts protected… rest easy, cyber-sweethearts.”
