[Verse 1] Walking in for your first CISO interview Questions swirling, what should you pursue? Look beyond the salary and the fancy suite Watch for signals that spell defeat Board meetings happen but who's invited? Security briefings or left benighted? [Chorus] Green flags flying, red flags hiding Know the difference, be your guide-ing Star, board briefings show they care Red flag waving, board's not there Green means growth, red means trouble Spot the signs before you stumble [Verse 2] Ask about the CISO who came before Better role or shown the door? If they stumbled after breach with no explanation That's a crimson indication But promotion tells a different tale Previous leader didn't fail [Chorus] Green flags flying, red flags hiding Know the difference, be your guide-ing Star, board briefings show they care Red flag waving, board's not there Green means growth, red means trouble Spot the signs before you stumble [Bridge] CEO speaks of business value gained Not compliance chains that leave you drained Reporting lines that climb up high Not buried under CIO's eye Budget tied to outcomes real Not fixed line items, raw deal [Verse 3] Risk discussions out in the open air Not just "secure everything" blank stare When security's seen as asset bright Not overhead that dims the light These are signals, crystal clear Choose the path without the fear [Chorus] Green flags flying, red flags hiding Know the difference, be your guide-ing Star, board briefings show they care Red flag waving, board's not there Green means growth, red means trouble Spot the signs before you stumble [Outro] Before you sign that dotted line Read between, see every sign Green flags guide you to success Red flags signal future stress
