Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When architects map their digital realm
Six component types must guide the helm
Software modules, hardware frames
Services running, policies by name
Processes flowing through the enterprise
Validation artifacts that verify

[Chorus]
Component definitions, crystal blueprints clear
Document satisfaction, every control draws near
Configuration specific, implementations vary
SSP authoring tools consume what you carry
COMP-DEF, COMP-DEF, building blocks align
COMP-DEF, COMP-DEF, control mappings shine

[Verse 2]
Each component whispers how controls are met
Inherited provisions, no requirement's left
Parameter settings shift with each deploy
Different environments these configs employ
What works for staging might not fit production
Tailor implementations for each construction

[Chorus]
Component definitions, crystal blueprints clear
Document satisfaction, every control draws near
Configuration specific, implementations vary
SSP authoring tools consume what you carry
COMP-DEF, COMP-DEF, building blocks align
COMP-DEF, COMP-DEF, control mappings shine

[Bridge]
FIPS one-forty-two validation certificates
Testing evidence that demonstrates and validates
Cryptographic modules proven sound and true
Assessment results become consumable too
Machine readable formats bridge the gap
Between component specs and compliance map

[Verse 3]
Authoring tools digest these structured files
Import component data, eliminate the piles
Of manual entry, copying text by hand
Automated workflows help compliance expand
Reusable components across multiple plans
Efficiency emerges when automation spans

[Chorus]
Component definitions, crystal blueprints clear
Document satisfaction, every control draws near
Configuration specific, implementations vary
SSP authoring tools consume what you carry
COMP-DEF, COMP-DEF, building blocks align
COMP-DEF, COMP-DEF, control mappings shine

[Outro]
Six types of components, controls satisfied
Configuration contexts, validation certified
Consumable formats for the tools that build
Component definitions, compliance requirements filled
