[Verse 1] OSCAL sets the framework, draws the bigger scene Documents the policies, keeps the governance clean But when you need specifics, configuration details OSCAL won't tell you where your system setup fails [Chorus] OSCAL doesn't scan your code Doesn't build the fix-it mode Doesn't set your password length STIGs provide that deeper strength Three things OSCAL leaves behind Product configs you must find Scanning tools and scripts to heal OSCAL maps but doesn't feel [Verse 2] Your pwquality dot conf needs a minimum length But OSCAL won't specify what gives your passwords strength No product-specific guidance in its structured frame It documents the standards but won't configure your game [Chorus] OSCAL doesn't scan your code Doesn't build the fix-it mode Doesn't set your password length STIGs provide that deeper strength Three things OSCAL leaves behind Product configs you must find Scanning tools and scripts to heal OSCAL maps but doesn't feel [Verse 3] When scanning time arrives to check your system state OSCAL won't run the tools that validate SCAP tools do the heavy lifting, probe your server's core While OSCAL holds the blueprint but won't walk through your door [Bridge] ComplianceAsCode generates the Ansible plays Bash scripts for remediation, fixes for your days But OSCAL stays above it all, governance in view Documents the what and why, not the how-to-do [Verse 4] STIGs give you remediation, scripts that make it right OSCAL shows the bigger picture, governance insight One layer documents control, the other makes it real Together they're the answer but they each have their appeal [Chorus] OSCAL doesn't scan your code Doesn't build the fix-it mode Doesn't set your password length STIGs provide that deeper strength Three things OSCAL leaves behind Product configs you must find Scanning tools and scripts to heal OSCAL maps but doesn't feel [Outro] Know the boundaries, know the roles OSCAL governs, STIGs control Each has purpose, each has place In your compliance interface
