[Verse 1] When auditors knock at your door unannounced And regulations shift like quicksand beneath Your quarterly goals suddenly feel quite divorced From what compliance teams actually need SOC2 deadlines don't wait for your sprint HIPAA violations won't pause for your plan [Chorus] Context not quarters, respond don't restrict Audit-driven forces can't fit in your grid Reactive by nature, compliance must bend When regulators call, objectives must mend Context not quarters, that's how compliance wins [Verse 2] You mapped out objectives back in January But now CMMC requirements have changed Your team's chasing ghosts of old strategy While real threats demand they rearrange PIPEDA updates dropped just yesterday Your OKRs can't predict this maze [Chorus] Context not quarters, respond don't restrict Audit-driven forces can't fit in your grid Reactive by nature, compliance must bend When regulators call, objectives must mend Context not quarters, that's how compliance wins [Bridge] Leadership sets the landscape and tolerance Compliance teams navigate the current storm Risk assessment trumps quarterly cadence When survival means you must transform Give them boundaries, not rigid targets Let expertise guide the urgent work [Final Chorus] Context not quarters, respond don't restrict Regulated industries need flexibility Reactive by nature, compliance must bend When auditors call, old plans reach their end Context not quarters, that's how compliance wins Trust the experts when the real work begins
