Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You know the frameworks, SOC Two compliance
Every control point mapped with defiance
Against the failures that bring companies down
When oversight breaks and risks compound
But there's a pattern you haven't seen yet
Where private equity makes a different bet

[Chorus]
Extract and optimize, cut to the bone
Staff reductions leave controls alone
Deferred IT, compliance spending falls
The very failures that you forestall
Your expertise shows what they don't know yet
Extraction economics creates the threat

[Verse 2]
They buy healthcare companies, promise growth
But cost-cutting breaks the sacred oath
Skeleton crews can't maintain the walls
That separate data when the system crawls
You've seen this movie, know how it ends
When profit motive breaks what compliance defends

[Chorus]
Extract and optimize, cut to the bone
Staff reductions leave controls alone
Deferred IT, compliance spending falls
The very failures that you forestall
Your expertise shows what they don't know yet
Extraction economics creates the threat

[Bridge]
Every audit trail you've ever traced
Shows where corners cut leave risks misplaced
The tension lives between return and rule
Your compliance lens becomes the tool
To see what PE firms refuse to face
Short term gains leave long term disgrace

[Verse 3]
HIPAA violations pile up high
When security teams are told goodbye
The very frameworks that you implement
Get sacrificed for quarterly rent
But you can bridge these worlds apart
Show how compliance protects the heart

[Final Chorus]
Extract and optimize, but keep controls
Staff smart not thin to reach your goals
IT investment, compliance spending saves
From the regulatory waves
Your expertise shows what they need to know
Sustainable profits through systems that grow

[Outro]
The conversation waits for your unique view
Where compliance meets the revenue
What they extract, you can help them keep
By building systems strong and deep
