Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When building defense systems we must understand
Supply chains are vulnerable across the land
NIST eight hundred sixty one revision one
Shows us cybersecurity has just begun
From vendors to components every link's at stake
One compromised supplier is all it takes

[Chorus]
Build Partner Buy creates the tiers we need
Trust requirements flowing like a growing seed
CGP registration keeps our goods controlled
ITAR and EAR compliance stories must be told
Supply chain risk management is our shield
Protecting what we build and never yield

[Verse 2]
The Defense Industrial Strategy makes it clear
Build means highest trust when threats are near
Partner brings collaboration with safeguards tight
Buy requires verification to get it right
Each tier demands specific controls in place
Risk assessment guides us at every phase

[Chorus]
Build Partner Buy creates the tiers we need
Trust requirements flowing like a growing seed
CGP registration keeps our goods controlled
ITAR and EAR compliance stories must be told
Supply chain risk management is our shield
Protecting what we build and never yield

[Bridge]
Controlled Goods Program registration first
Before you handle items that could make things worse
Canadian firms crossing borders need to know
ITAR controls exports where defense goods go
Export Administration Regulations too
Guide what technology can pass right through

[Verse 3]
Risk identification across every stage
Threat modeling fills each assessment page
Third party validation when trust runs thin
Continuous monitoring lets assurance win
Document everything from source to door
Supply chain transparency worth fighting for

[Chorus]
Build Partner Buy creates the tiers we need
Trust requirements flowing like a growing seed
CGP registration keeps our goods controlled
ITAR and EAR compliance stories must be told
Supply chain risk management is our shield
Protecting what we build and never yield

[Outro]
From circuit boards to software every part
Supply chain security protects the heart
Of defense systems keeping nations free
Risk management is our victory
