[Verse 1]
Before you integrate that shiny new tool
Ask the vendor questions, don't play the fool
Who controls your CI pipeline's access keys
What happens when their servers disagree
Check their incident response history
Audit trails and vulnerability feeds
[Chorus]
Trust before you make that vow
Security questions matter now
Vendor transparency is your shield
Check compliance, make them yield
Authentication, authorization too
Backup plans when systems skew
Trust before you make that vow
[Verse 2]
Registry providers hold your Docker dreams
But what about their scanning schemes
Do they verify each layer's source
Can they prove the build discourse
Multi-factor auth for admin rights
Geo-replication for sleepless nights
[Chorus]
Trust before you make that vow
Security questions matter now
Vendor transparency is your shield
Check compliance, make them yield
Authentication, authorization too
Backup plans when systems skew
Trust before you make that vow
[Verse 3]
SDK vendors ship the code you run
But transparency has just begun
Static analysis in their build chain
Memory safety, no buffer strain
Third-party dependencies they include
License compatibility reviewed
[Bridge]
Questionnaires reveal the truth beneath
Service level agreements underneath
Recovery time objectives clear
Disaster plans when chaos nears
Supply chain attacks are on the rise
Vendor vetting is your prize
[Chorus]
Trust before you make that vow
Security questions matter now
Vendor transparency is your shield
Check compliance, make them yield
Authentication, authorization too
Backup plans when systems skew
Trust before you make that vow
[Outro]
Every vendor in your tech stack maze
Deserves scrutiny through questionnaire's gaze
Trust but verify, the old refrain
Protects your software's supply chain
