Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Survey your digital estate with precision eyes
Map every server, workstation, device that lies
Within your boundary walls, catalog each machine
Network switches, databases, the whole tech scene
Scope defines your battlefield before the war begins

[Chorus]
S-B-S-M-D-R-V-R, the workflow never ends
Scope, Baseline, Scan, Manual, Document, Remediate, Validate, Report again
Eight phases marching forward, security's best friends
STIG assessment mastery, on this you can depend

[Verse 2]
Match technologies to standards with careful thought
Find the proper STIG for every system you've got
Windows servers need their guides, Linux has its own
Security Requirements Guides for platforms unknown
Baseline mapping draws the blueprint for your test

[Chorus]
S-B-S-M-D-R-V-R, the workflow never ends
Scope, Baseline, Scan, Manual, Document, Remediate, Validate, Report again
Eight phases marching forward, security's best friends
STIG assessment mastery, on this you can depend

[Verse 3]
SCAP scanners hum electric, automated might
Checking hundreds of controls throughout the night
But human eyes must catch what robots cannot see
Manual review completes what automation missed, you see
Technology and intuition work as one

[Bridge]
Document findings in your checklist files today
CKL format holds the evidence you'll display
Remediate the gaps or write POA&M with cause
Validate your fixes work without any flaws

[Verse 4]
Re-scan systems, double-check what you have done
Confirmation rounds ensure no vulnerability's won
Compile your final package with meticulous care
Authorization evidence, security posture laid bare

[Chorus]
S-B-S-M-D-R-V-R, the workflow never ends
Scope, Baseline, Scan, Manual, Document, Remediate, Validate, Report again
Eight phases marching forward, security's best friends
STIG assessment mastery, on this you can depend

[Outro]
From scope to final report, the cycle stays complete
DISA standards conquered, your mission is complete
