[Verse 1]
When systems fail and downtime calls
We need a plan before it falls
Criticality tiers one through three
High medium low priority
RTO means recovery time objective
RPO is your data protective
How long to rebuild from the ground
That's the metric that keeps us sound
[Chorus]
Quantify the risk, classify the tiers
RTO RPO, face your system fears
Provenance and pins, patches running clean
KPIs will show you what resilience means
Time to rebuild, time to restore
Governance frameworks give you so much more
[Verse 2]
Components need their family tree
Provenance percentage shows what we can see
Dependencies pinned not floating free
Version numbers locked deliberately
Mean time to patch security flaws
Metrics matter, these are your laws
Track the numbers, watch them climb
Preparedness measured over time
[Chorus]
Quantify the risk, classify the tiers
RTO RPO, face your system fears
Provenance and pins, patches running clean
KPIs will show you what resilience means
Time to rebuild, time to restore
Governance frameworks give you so much more
[Bridge]
Exception management when rules must bend
Risk acceptance forms that we defend
Periodic re-audits check the flow
Change control for deps we need to know
Every introduction needs approval
Governance prevents the system's removal
[Verse 3]
From supply chain breaks to geopolitical shifts
Modern tech stacks need defensive gifts
Document the risks and measure well
KPIs and governance will help you tell
When systems break how fast you'll heal
That's the power of making risk assessment real
[Chorus]
Quantify the risk, classify the tiers
RTO RPO, face your system fears
Provenance and pins, patches running clean
KPIs will show you what resilience means
Time to rebuild, time to restore
Governance frameworks give you so much more
[Outro]
Risk and governance hand in hand
Building systems that can withstand
Any storm that comes your way
Resilience planning saves the day
