[Verse 1]
NIST eight hundred fifty-three sets the foundation
Both FedRAMP and STIGs draw from this creation
Cloud providers want that government connection
But DoD needs more than baseline protection
[Chorus]
STIGs and FedRAMP dancing hand in hand
Both from NIST but different demands
FedRAMP starts you off but it's not the end
DoD needs more controls to defend
Two frameworks working where security matters
NIST eight hundred fifty-three is what scatters
Into baselines and guides across the land
[Verse 2]
Cloud Service Providers seeking DoD gold
FedRAMP Provisional won't complete the goal
STIG requirements go beyond what's baseline
Additional controls to keep systems in line
[Chorus]
STIGs and FedRAMP dancing hand in hand
Both from NIST but different demands
FedRAMP starts you off but it's not the end
DoD needs more controls to defend
Two frameworks working where security matters
NIST eight hundred fifty-three is what scatters
Into baselines and guides across the land
[Bridge]
Cloud Computing SRG defines the way
Impact Levels two four five and six today
Higher levels mean stronger requirements
Security posture needs those alignments
[Verse 3]
When the mission's critical and data's at stake
Standard baselines won't cover the intake
STIG requirements fill in all the gaps
Comprehensive security that never snaps
[Chorus]
STIGs and FedRAMP dancing hand in hand
Both from NIST but different demands
FedRAMP starts you off but it's not the end
DoD needs more controls to defend
Two frameworks working where security matters
NIST eight hundred fifty-three is what scatters
Into baselines and guides across the land
[Outro]
Same source different purpose in the cloud
NIST controls making security proud
STIGs and FedRAMP working as planned
Defense in depth across the federal land
