[Verse 1]
There's a myth that's going round the compliance floor
That OSCAL came to end what came before
They say it replaces STIGs completely
But that's not how security works neatly
OSCAL tracks your governance and policy dreams
While STIGs give you technical config schemes
One documents the "what" and "why" you do
The other shows the "how" to make it true
[Chorus]
You need both layers, don't believe the hype
OSCAL plus STIGs, that's the winning type
Documentation up above
Technical guidance that you love
Two different tools for two different jobs
Don't let confusion make you sob
[Verse 2]
OSCAL has no opinion on your SSH config file
It won't tell you which ciphers are worthwhile
That's where STIGs come in to save the day
With exact settings spelled out all the way
Think of OSCAL as your governance brain
Recording policies through compliance terrain
STIGs are your technical implementation guide
Both tools working closely side by side
[Chorus]
You need both layers, don't believe the hype
OSCAL plus STIGs, that's the winning type
Documentation up above
Technical guidance that you love
Two different tools for two different jobs
Don't let confusion make you sob
[Bridge]
Governance layer, technical layer
Each one serves a different savior
OSCAL documents what you decide
STIGs show how to implement with pride
[Verse 3]
So when someone says OSCAL makes STIGs obsolete
Just smile and know that claim's incomplete
They complement each other perfectly
In your security strategy symphony
[Chorus]
You need both layers, don't believe the hype
OSCAL plus STIGs, that's the winning type
Documentation up above
Technical guidance that you love
Two different tools for two different jobs
Now you know the truth, give yourself props
[Outro]
OSCAL and STIGs together as one
Your compliance journey has just begun
