[Verse 1]
Security automation needs a protocol
SCAP transforms compliance from manual crawl
Machine-readable standards, XCCDF and OVAL files
Transform human checklists into scanner-friendly piles
[Chorus]
SCC scans automatically, OpenSCAP runs the show
Evaluate-STIG for Windows, PowerShell makes it flow
Sixty to eighty percent automated, twenty still needs your eyes
SCAP benchmarks catch the basics, humans verify the lies
[Verse 2]
DISA's Compliance Checker sweeps configurations clean
Benchmarks translate STIGs to XML machine routine
Linux environments trust OpenSCAP's open source might
Windows administrators script with PowerShell insight
[Chorus]
SCC scans automatically, OpenSCAP runs the show
Evaluate-STIG for Windows, PowerShell makes it flow
Sixty to eighty percent automated, twenty still needs your eyes
SCAP benchmarks catch the basics, humans verify the lies
[Bridge]
Interviews and documentation, architecture review
Manual verification completes what scanners cannot do
Registry keys and file permissions, automated tools excel
But policy interpretation requires human personnel
[Verse 3]
XCCDF defines the rules while OVAL checks the state
Combining both technologies, compliance we calculate
Not every STIG requirement fits a scanner's rigid test
Human judgment fills the gaps where automation rests
[Chorus]
SCC scans automatically, OpenSCAP runs the show
Evaluate-STIG for Windows, PowerShell makes it flow
Sixty to eighty percent automated, twenty still needs your eyes
SCAP benchmarks catch the basics, humans verify the lies
[Outro]
Automation speeds the process, accuracy improves
SCAP compliance checking, security workflow proves
