[Verse 1] Before you walk through that front door There's homework you should do Map the landscape, know the score Research will see you through Check the ten-K and the SOC reports Look for breach disclosures too What would a cyber attack cost When headlines make the news [Chorus] Map the landscape, build your list Prepare your mental frame Fifteen to twenty conversations Learn each stakeholder's name From engineering to the legal team Finance and product too Do your homework before day one That's what the pros all do [Verse 2] Who came before you in this role What incidents went down Search the web for their old posts Check if they're still around Study competitors in your space How do they handle risk Understanding context matters It's the foundation of your wish [Chorus] Map the landscape, build your list Prepare your mental frame Fifteen to twenty conversations Learn each stakeholder's name From engineering to the legal team Finance and product too Do your homework before day one That's what the pros all do [Bridge] Know the revenue model cold How customers pay their bills Where does sensitive data flow Who has access to the wheels GDPR or HIPAA bound Which frameworks apply Chart the informal leaders Not just the org chart guys [Verse 3] Draft your listening agenda One-on-ones to start Sales and marketing voices Every functional part Don't just talk to security Branch out and learn the whole Business context is the secret To playing the CISO role [Chorus] Map the landscape, build your list Prepare your mental frame Fifteen to twenty conversations Learn each stakeholder's name From engineering to the legal team Finance and product too Do your homework before day one That's what the pros all do [Outro] Research first, then listen well Success starts before you're hired Map, prepare, and know the tale That's how trust gets acquired
