[Verse 1]
Two frameworks guide security's way
CIS Benchmarks and STIGs today
They overlap on common ground
Where platform hardening can be found
CIS starts broad then gets more tight
Level One for general sight
[Chorus]
STIGs and CIS, they work together
Building defense through any weather
Level One broad, Level Two strong
But STIGs go further all along
Overlap and layer, that's the key
Security frameworks in harmony
[Verse 2]
CIS Level One applies to most
Basic security coast to coast
Level Two cranks up the heat
Higher security more complete
But when DoD needs protection true
STIGs go beyond what CIS can do
[Chorus]
STIGs and CIS, they work together
Building defense through any weather
Level One broad, Level Two strong
But STIGs go further all along
Overlap and layer, that's the key
Security frameworks in harmony
[Bridge]
Organizations start with CIS as base
Then layer STIG controls in place
DoD environments need the most
STIGs provide that stronger post
Common platforms share the load
Both frameworks light the road
[Verse 3]
Windows, Linux, network gear
Both frameworks make requirements clear
Start with CIS for foundational ground
Add STIG controls where threats are found
Stringent standards for defense
Maximum security makes sense
[Chorus]
STIGs and CIS, they work together
Building defense through any weather
Level One broad, Level Two strong
But STIGs go further all along
Overlap and layer, that's the key
Security frameworks in harmony
[Outro]
From commercial grade to military might
These frameworks keep your systems tight
Choose your level, know your need
Both together help you succeed
