Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the northern digital realm where data needs protection
Government of Canada sets the standards for connection
Protected B classification guards the sensitive information
Cloud service providers need that sovereign validation

When departments store their files in virtual space above
They need assurance that their secrets get the proper love
Medium and high integrity profiles define the way
CCCS guidance shows the path that we must take today

[Chorus]
Protected B, Protected B, that's the standard we must meet
AWS and Azure, Google Cloud compete
Sovereign capability, compliance is the key
Architects who understand create opportunity
Protected B, Protected B, building trust in what we see

[Verse 2]
Amazon Web Services earned their Protected B status first
Microsoft Azure followed through to quench the government thirst
Google Cloud is working hard to join this exclusive club
But certification takes time to earn that sovereign hub

The landscape keeps evolving as providers seek approval
Canadian Cyber Security Centre leads the data removal
From foreign interference and unauthorized access
Each provider must demonstrate their security prowess

[Chorus]
Protected B, Protected B, that's the standard we must meet
AWS and Azure, Google Cloud compete
Sovereign capability, compliance is the key
Architects who understand create opportunity
Protected B, Protected B, building trust in what we see

[Bridge]
Medium integrity for standard government needs
High integrity when the stakes require special deeds
Encryption at rest and transit, logging every call
Identity management standing ten feet tall

Network segmentation, incident response plans
Multi-factor authentication in capable hands
Auditing and monitoring, twenty-four seven watch
Sovereign cloud requirements that nobody can botch

[Verse 3]
Defence industrial strategy needs architects who know
How compliance frameworks help the secure data flow
Understanding CCCS guidance opens up the door
To lucrative positions in this growing sector's core

When industry meets government in the digital age
Certified professionals command a higher wage
Sovereign capability creates the jobs of tomorrow
For those who master compliance without any sorrow

[Chorus]
Protected B, Protected B, that's the standard we must meet
AWS and Azure, Google Cloud compete
Sovereign capability, compliance is the key
Architects who understand create opportunity
Protected B, Protected B, building trust in what we see

[Outro]
In Canada's cloud future, sovereignty reigns supreme
Protected B requirements fuel the digital dream
Study hard, learn well, make compliance your career
The sovereign cloud revolution is finally here
