Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You've got your OSCAL documentation done
Controls mapped out, implementation begun
You think you're finished, ready to declare
"I don't need SCAP scans, my docs are there"

[Pre-Chorus]
But documents tell you what should be
Not what's actually running free

[Chorus]
OSCAL shows the plan, SCAP proves it's real
Documentation lies without that technical feel
You can't write fiction, call it compliance gold
Verification matters, that's the story told
OSCAL shows the plan, SCAP proves it's real

[Verse 2]
Your security control says encryption's on
But is the cipher strong or is it gone?
OSCAL describes the policy you wrote
SCAP scans will tell you if systems actually note

[Pre-Chorus]
Implementation and reality
Often differ drastically

[Chorus]
OSCAL shows the plan, SCAP proves it's real
Documentation lies without that technical feel
You can't write fiction, call it compliance gold
Verification matters, that's the story told
OSCAL shows the plan, SCAP proves it's real

[Bridge]
Trust but verify, the old saying goes
OSCAL is trust, but SCAP really knows
Evidence matters in the compliance game
Without both together, you'll shoulder the blame

[Verse 3]
Your framework's beautiful, controls align
But are the systems following that design?
OSCAL documents intention clear
SCAP scanning shows what's really here

[Final Chorus]
OSCAL shows the plan, SCAP proves it's real
Documentation lies without that technical feel
You can't write fiction, call it compliance gold
Verification matters, that's the story told
OSCAL plus SCAP makes the process whole

[Outro]
Don't skip the scans when OSCAL's complete
Evidence and documentation make compliance sweet
