[Verse 1]
A million-dollar vault for a penny's worth of gum
Wasteful spending when the math just doesn't sum
But leave your treasure chest with just a flimsy lock
Watch your precious assets vanish 'round the clock
[Chorus]
Match the shield to what you're guarding
Proportionality's the key
Heavy armor for your diamonds
Bike lock for your morning tea
Classification drives the action
Risk assessment shows the way
Proportionality in practice
Every single working day
[Verse 2]
Public data needs a fence, but not a moat
Confidential secrets get the armored coat
Top secret intel earns the fortress treatment
Each control aligned with asset's measurement
[Chorus]
Match the shield to what you're guarding
Proportionality's the key
Heavy armor for your diamonds
Bike lock for your morning tea
Classification drives the action
Risk assessment shows the way
Proportionality in practice
Every single working day
[Bridge]
When the cure costs more than sickness
When the guard exceeds the gold
Balance spending with the value
Let the asset classification hold
[Verse 3]
Commensurate controls for every data tier
Scale your defenses as the threats draw near
Don't bankrupt budgets on the trivial stuff
Save your strongest measures for the really rough
[Final Chorus]
Match the shield to what you're guarding
Proportionality's the key
Heavy armor for your diamonds
Bike lock for your morning tea
Classification drives the action
Risk assessment shows the way
Proportionality in practice
Every single working day
[Outro]
Right-sized protection
Smart resource direction
Proportional perfection
