[Verse 1]
Planning phase begins with market reconnaissance deep
SCRM woven through requirements that suppliers must keep
RFPs carry contract language, flow-down mandates clear
Source selection factors weighted, documentation sphere
Validate deliverables against the CDRL line
Integration from the start makes security shine
[Chorus]
Five steps secure the chain of trust
Plan, Assess, Threaten, Risk, Mitigate we must
Vulnerabilities mapped by taxonomy code
Intelligence gathered on the threat episode
Registers capture what could go astray
Mitigations guard the mission every day
[Verse 2]
Vulnerability scanning through the DoD lens wide
Taxonomy categories sort where dangers hide
Two major risk buckets minimum for each candidate found
Criticality analysis shows which components are crown
FOCI evaluation, foreign influence traced
CUI exposure measured, protection systems placed
[Chorus]
Five steps secure the chain of trust
Plan, Assess, Threaten, Risk, Mitigate we must
Vulnerabilities mapped by taxonomy code
Intelligence gathered on the threat episode
Registers capture what could go astray
Mitigations guard the mission every day
[Verse 3]
Intelligence products from DIA SCRM TAC arrive
Level One means total failure, Level Two won't survive
Significant compromise when mission-critical breaks
Three and Four handled local, service focal point takes
Threat assessments mandatory for the highest tier
Crystal ball of adversaries drawing ever near
[Bridge]
Risk registers document the storm ahead
Likelihood and consequence, impact widespread
Standard matrices prioritize the danger zones
Taxonomy sub-categories, structured undertones
[Verse 4]
Mitigation library filters by the top three threats
Cost and schedule feasibility, strategic safety nets
Ownership assigned to guardians of each countermeasure
Implementation tracked like organizational treasure
From planning to protection, systematic defense
Supply chain armor forged through diligence intense
[Chorus]
Five steps secure the chain of trust
Plan, Assess, Threaten, Risk, Mitigate we must
Vulnerabilities mapped by taxonomy code
Intelligence gathered on the threat episode
Registers capture what could go astray
Mitigations guard the mission every day
[Outro]
Acquisition to deployment, SCRM never sleeps
Five sequential guardians, security it keeps
