Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The audit's done, the pressure's gone
InfoSec stands alone
That leverage from the deadline crunch
Has vanished like a stone
Teams scatter back to their own work
The urgency has died
Now we must build relationships
With partnership as guide

[Chorus]
After compliance, build the bridge
Embed, champion, roadmap ridge
Not external pressure anymore
But shared ownership at the core
Definition of done includes security
Champions spread the knowledge free
Roadmap visible for all to see
Partnership is the master key

[Verse 2]
Embed security in definition
Of done for every team
Make it a quality standard now
Not a separate review scheme
No more gatekeeping at the end
When code is ready to deploy
Build it into the process flow
That developers employ

[Chorus]
After compliance, build the bridge
Embed, champion, roadmap ridge
Not external pressure anymore
But shared ownership at the core
Definition of done includes security
Champions spread the knowledge free
Roadmap visible for all to see
Partnership is the master key

[Bridge]
Security champions in each crew
Handle questions without escalation too
Routine matters stay local now
InfoSec can focus on the how
Strategic planning takes the stage
Visible roadmap turns the page

[Verse 3]
Create a roadmap that's in sight
For product and engineering leads
Security investment planned ahead
Not reactive to urgent needs
Integration beats separation
Collaboration over control
Shared ownership of protection
Makes security the common goal

[Chorus]
After compliance, build the bridge
Embed, champion, roadmap ridge
Not external pressure anymore
But shared ownership at the core
Definition of done includes security
Champions spread the knowledge free
Roadmap visible for all to see
Partnership is the master key

[Outro]
The audit's past, the future's bright
When teams work hand in hand
Security becomes everyone's job
Across the whole command
