Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every laptop, every server, every phone upon your desk
Must be catalogued and counted, that's our inventory request
Hardware assets, software licenses, track them all from day one
Know what's yours and where it's living, till their lifecycle is done

[Chorus]
Asset management, keep it tight
Hardware Software Inventory right
Owners assigned for every device
Configuration baselines precise
Media handled, BYOD controlled
License compliance, stories told
Nine key controls to keep us safe
Asset management sets the pace

[Verse 2]
Assign an owner to each asset, someone responsible and true
They'll ensure the proper safeguards follow everything they do
From the moment that we purchase to disposal at the end
Every asset needs a guardian, a protector and a friend

[Chorus]
Asset management, keep it tight
Hardware Software Inventory right
Owners assigned for every device
Configuration baselines precise
Media handled, BYOD controlled
License compliance, stories told
Nine key controls to keep us safe
Asset management sets the pace

[Bridge]
Configuration baselines tell us how things ought to be
Standard settings, approved software, documented carefully
When employees bring devices, BYOD controls apply
Personal phones and tablets need our policies to comply

[Verse 3]
Handle media with caution when it's time to throw away
Wipe the drives and shred the papers, data ghosts can't stay
Software licensing compliance keeps the lawyers satisfied
Count your users, track your installs, keep the auditors on side

[Chorus]
Asset management, keep it tight
Hardware Software Inventory right
Owners assigned for every device
Configuration baselines precise
Media handled, BYOD controlled
License compliance, stories told
Nine key controls to keep us safe
Asset management sets the pace

[Outro]
From creation to disposal, every asset has its place
With these nine controls in action, we maintain our management grace
