Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the digital fortress where data flows
Four guardians stand in perfect rows
Prevent the breach before it starts
Detect the intrusion, sound alarms
Correct the damage, heal the scars
Compensate when other guards fall apart

[Chorus]
P-D-C-C, the quartet of security
Prevent, Detect, Correct, Compensate
Every framework tells the same story
SOC 2, HIPAA, they all orchestrate
The same four pillars holding up the gate

[Verse 2]
Prevention builds the moats and walls
Detection spots when danger calls
Correction mends what broke today
Compensation fills the gaps that stay
ISO twenty-seven thousand one
NIST eight hundred fifty-three, they're never done

[Chorus]
P-D-C-C, the quartet of security
Prevent, Detect, Correct, Compensate
Every framework tells the same story
CMMC, PIPEDA, they all orchestrate
The same four pillars holding up the gate

[Bridge]
Catalogs of wisdom, domain by domain
Structured repositories of digital grain
Each compliance standard speaks the ancient tongue
Four verbs of valor, forever sung

[Verse 3]
When firewalls prevent the attack
When monitors detect what's cracked
When patches correct the broken code
When backups compensate the failed node
PIPEDA's privacy, CMMC's defense
Four purposes make perfect sense

[Final Chorus]
P-D-C-C, the eternal melody
Prevent, Detect, Correct, Compensate
Every standard shares this symmetry
Controls are verbs that demonstrate
The fourfold promise we create

[Outro]
Four guardians standing at the door
Prevention, detection, correction, compensation
The why behind every regulation
