[Verse 1]
Six phases weave the framework tight
Categorize sets the stage tonight
Step one determines which STIGs align
System classification draws the line
Selection follows, controls unfold
Requirements mapped in stories told
[Chorus]
Three and four, that's where STIGs roar
Implementation, assessment core
Categorize, select, then implement
Assess and authorize what's been sent
Monitor constantly, never ignore
STIGs dance through RMF's floor
[Verse 2]
Implementation hardens every node
Configurations locked in STIG code
Checklists guide the hardening spree
SCAP scans validate what we see
Evidence gathering, proof complete
Assessment makes the cycle sweet
[Chorus]
Three and four, that's where STIGs roar
Implementation, assessment core
Categorize, select, then implement
Assess and authorize what's been sent
Monitor constantly, never ignore
STIGs dance through RMF's floor
[Bridge]
Authorization reads the STIG score
ATO decisions need compliance more
Continuous monitoring keeps watch alive
Ongoing validation helps systems thrive
SRGs cascade to specific rules
STIGs become the hardening tools
[Verse 3]
Category drives which STIGs apply
Selection shows the reasons why
Implementation locks things down
Assessment proves what can be found
Authorization grants the green
Monitoring keeps the system clean
[Chorus]
Three and four, that's where STIGs roar
Implementation, assessment core
Categorize, select, then implement
Assess and authorize what's been sent
Monitor constantly, never ignore
STIGs dance through RMF's floor
[Outro]
Six steps cycling round and round
STIGs make sure security's sound
Framework flows from start to end
DISA standards comprehend
