[Verse 1] Walking through those boardroom doors, your first week as the chief Got a briefing deck of numbers that might bring you grief Vulnerabilities patched last month, five hundred forty-three But the CEO just stares and asks "What's that worth to me?" [Chorus] Don't count the patches, count the value Don't track the phishing, track the revenue Those security numbers swimming in your head Mean nothing to the business if the context's dead What not to measure, what not to share In your first ninety days, handle with care [Verse 2] Mean time to detect's impressive, down to forty-seven minutes But without the business story, you're just spinning wheels within it Tool coverage at ninety percent sounds mighty fine and neat Till the CFO reminds you of the quarterly revenue beat [Chorus] Don't count the patches, count the value Don't track the phishing, track the revenue Those security numbers swimming in your head Mean nothing to the business if the context's dead What not to measure, what not to share In your first ninety days, handle with care [Bridge] Click rates and response times matter in the end But leading with these metrics makes you security's friend Not the business ally that you need to be Build trust first, then show vulnerability [Verse 3] Save those technical victories for your security team While you learn the business language and the executive dream Connect your cyber wisdom to their quarterly goals That's how a CISO wins hearts and souls [Chorus] Don't count the patches, count the value Don't track the phishing, track the revenue Those security numbers swimming in your head Mean nothing to the business if the context's dead What not to measure, what not to share In your first ninety days, handle with care [Outro] Build your program for the business, not security alone Those metrics have their moment, but not from the throne
