Lyrics

[Verse 1]
STIGs tell you how to lock one system down
Check the boxes, follow rules that they have found
But what happens when you need the bigger view?
When compliance spans across frameworks too?
OSCAL rises where the STIGs fall short
System-wide and multi-standard support

[Chorus]
Four things OSCAL does that STIGs don't know
System-level, multi-framework flow
Lifecycle management, shared responsibility
Machine-readable for true security
Assessment automation, evidence in place
Continuous monitoring keeps up the pace

[Verse 2]
Authorization lifecycle from start to end
Control selection through assessment and defend
Shared responsibility modeled in the code
Provider, customer, inherited load
No more guessing who controls what part
OSCAL makes it clear right from the start

[Chorus]
Four things OSCAL does that STIGs don't know
System-level, multi-framework flow
Lifecycle management, shared responsibility
Machine-readable for true security
Assessment automation, evidence in place
Continuous monitoring keeps up the pace

[Bridge]
Gone are three hundred page documents
Word files that nobody implements
Structured data drives the tools we need
Assessment workflows automated indeed
Evidence attached in back-matter clean
Best compliance model we've ever seen

[Verse 3]
FedRAMP, CMMC, SOC 2 at once
Single dataset handles every hunt
Point-in-time snapshots are yesterday's game
Continuous findings keep security's flame
Observation models capture what you find
Ongoing monitoring peace of mind

[Chorus]
Four things OSCAL does that STIGs don't know
System-level, multi-framework flow
Lifecycle management, shared responsibility
Machine-readable for true security
Assessment automation, evidence in place
Continuous monitoring keeps up the pace

[Outro]
When you need more than configuration rules
OSCAL gives you comprehensive tools
System-wide compliance made to last
OSCAL's the future, STIGs are the past
