Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The board reviews compliance once a quarter
But who exactly checks each vendor's gate?
"Users shall be careful" sounds like water
Slipping through your fingers while you wait
No proof of training, no audit trail
When controls are foggy, systems fail

[Chorus]
Who does what, when does it happen
How do we prove it's really done?
Three deadly sins will leave you grappling
Unverifiable, unmeasured, no one
Write it clear, make it stick
Who, what, when, and how we tick

[Verse 2]
"Systems shall be adequately shielded"
Adequate to whom, and measured how?
Without metrics, standards never yielded
Benchmarks that auditors disallow
Eighty percent uptime or ninety-nine?
Draw the borders, define the line

[Chorus]
Who does what, when does it happen
How do we prove it's really done?
Three deadly sins will leave you grappling
Unverifiable, unmeasured, no one
Write it clear, make it stick
Who, what, when, and how we tick

[Bridge]
Security measures shall be maintained
But whose signature's on that decree?
Ghost responsibilities, unclaimed
Accountability's missing key
Name the owner, set the clock
Evidence that stands like rock

[Verse 3]
Change the language, sharpen focus now
"IT manager validates credentials weekly"
"Penetration testing twice per year, and how?"
"Document reviews completed completely"
Every control answering four questions clean
Measurable, owned, and provably seen

[Final Chorus]
Who does what, when does it happen
How do we prove it's really done?
Three deadly sins won't leave you grappling
Verified, measured, someone owns
Crystal controls that truly stick
Who, what, when, and how we tick
