Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Twenty families of controls to guide your way
From Access Control to Supply Chain every day
AC, AT, AU - the alphabet begins
CA, CM, CP - where security wins
Each control has a number and a baseline too
Low, Moderate, High - depends on what you do

[Chorus]
Eight hundred fifty-three, the catalog we need
Twenty families strong, security's our creed
Base controls and enhancements, tailor to your site
NIST gives us the framework to get security right
Reference in your policy, implement with care
Eight hundred fifty-three, controls beyond compare

[Verse 2]
Identity and Authentication, that's IA
Incident Response when things go astray
Maintenance and Media Protection keep us sound
Personnel Security, trusted people all around
Privacy controls with PT designation
Risk Assessment guides your organization

[Chorus]
Eight hundred fifty-three, the catalog we need
Twenty families strong, security's our creed
Base controls and enhancements, tailor to your site
NIST gives us the framework to get security right
Reference in your policy, implement with care
Eight hundred fifty-three, controls beyond compare

[Bridge]
Physical and Environmental, Planning too
Program Management, what managers must do
System Acquisition, Communications secure
System Information Integrity for sure
When you write your policy, here's the way to go
"This implements requirements of controls below"

[Verse 3]
State the family and the numbers that apply
XX dash one, XX dash two, reaching for the sky
Choose your baseline level, Low or Moderate
High impact systems need the strongest advocate
Enhancements are optional but they give you more
Layered security from ceiling to the floor

[Final Chorus]
Eight hundred fifty-three, revision number five
Twenty families working to keep your data alive
From Access to Supply Chain, every family's role
NIST eight hundred fifty-three, security's our goal
Reference in your policy, implement with pride
Eight hundred fifty-three, your cybersecurity guide

[Outro]
Twenty families strong
Security belongs
Eight hundred fifty-three
Your guide to being free
From cyber threats today
The NIST SP way
