[Verse 1] When hackers strike they don't speak dollars But boardrooms need to see the cost Translate your threats to revenue lost Show business impact, make it clear Turn technical risk to financial fear A breach could cost us millions more Than investment in security's core [Chorus] Speak their language, show the money Risk and return, make it sunny Give them choices, not just warnings Accept the risk or fund the dawning Build a bridge from tech to business Share the words that show you get this CISO success means translation Security through conversation [Verse 2] Skip the dashboard full of red Tell stories that stick in their head Paint scenarios they understand A supply chain attack could strand Our operations for thirty days While customers find other ways Narrative beats numbers every time Make risk real with story rhyme [Chorus] Speak their language, show the money Risk and return, make it sunny Give them choices, not just warnings Accept the risk or fund the dawning Build a bridge from tech to business Share the words that show you get this CISO success means translation Security through conversation [Bridge] Don't say "we need more firewalls" Say "protect our revenue calls" Align your posture with their appetite Show how security makes it right When business speaks of managed risk Your metrics need to show what's brisk The vocabulary must be shared To show them why they should have cared [Verse 3] Present options, not demands We can accept or strengthen hands Option one accepts the threat Option two's our safety net Map your controls to enterprise goals Show how security fills the holes In business strategy and growth plans Make security the helping hands [Final Chorus] Speak their language, show the money Risk and return, make it sunny Give them choices, not just warnings Accept the risk or fund the dawning Build a bridge from tech to business Share the words that show you get this CISO success means translation Security through conversation [Outro] When technical meets financial speech That's when security goals you'll reach Business alignment starts today With words that show security's way
