Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah needs the data, but can she get inside?
First we check her identity, then we'll decide
Authentication proves she's really who she claims
Multi-factor verification, playing security games
Username, password, plus her phone's one-time code
Three factors together unlock the access road

[Chorus]
Who gets in, what they see, when they're allowed to stay
RBAC and ABAC showing us the way
Least privilege, need to know, keep the access tight
PAM for privileged users, monitor day and night
Access control, access control, guarding every door
Access control, access control, that's what we secure for

[Verse 2]
Roles define the boundaries, attributes refine
Marketing sees campaigns, finance sees the bottom line
Account lifecycle spinning from provision to delete
Regular reviews ensure no access stays obsolete
Service accounts inventoried, owners clearly named
Quarterly audits verify that nothing's been unclaimed

[Chorus]
Who gets in, what they see, when they're allowed to stay
RBAC and ABAC showing us the way
Least privilege, need to know, keep the access tight
PAM for privileged users, monitor day and night
Access control, access control, guarding every door
Access control, access control, that's what we secure for

[Bridge]
Sessions timeout when you're gone
Remote access, VPN strong
Policies state the overarching rule
Standards specify each tool
Procedures detail every step we take
Two business days to make no mistake

[Verse 3]
Identity management from cradle to the grave
Provisioning new users with the access that they crave
But only what they need to do their job and nothing more
Deprovisioning when they leave, lock and bolt that door
Authentication commensurate with sensitivity's call
Higher risk means stronger gates protecting it all

[Final Chorus]
Who gets in, what they see, when they're allowed to stay
RBAC and ABAC showing us the way
Least privilege, need to know, keep the access tight
PAM for privileged users, monitor day and night
Access control, access control, guarding every door
Access control, access control, keeping data secure

[Outro]
From request form to provision
Following our access mission
Who can interact, which resources, what conditions
Access control, our security ambitions
