Lyrics

[Verse 1]
STIG documents hold the secrets tight
Security requirements mapped precise
Each technology gets its blueprint guide
Rules and checks to keep systems fortified
While SRG floats above the fray
Higher guidance for the category way

[Chorus]
V-numbers mark each finding clear
CAT One Critical we fear
CAT Two Medium, CAT Three Low
Rule IDs make automation flow
STIG and SRG and Finding too
These three terms will carry you

[Verse 2]
Every finding gets a V-number name
V-230221 in the compliance game
Rule ID follows with its technical call
SV-230221r858734 for tools that crawl
Severity categories split the weight
Critical Medium Low determine fate

[Chorus]
V-numbers mark each finding clear
CAT One Critical we fear
CAT Two Medium, CAT Three Low
Rule IDs make automation flow
STIG and SRG and Finding too
These three terms will carry you

[Bridge]
Open means you failed the test
Not a Finding means you passed with zest
Not Applicable doesn't apply
Not Reviewed means you haven't tried
POA&M plans your remediation course
Action milestones with timeline force

[Verse 3]
SRG creates the broader view
General Purpose OS guidelines brew
STIGs inherit from that higher ground
Technology-specific rules are found
Each finding checks a single requirement
Security posture needs alignment

[Final Chorus]
V-numbers mark each finding clear
CAT One Critical we fear
CAT Two Medium, CAT Three Low
Rule IDs make automation flow
STIG and SRG and Finding too
