Lyrics

[Verse 1]
STIGs were made for human eyes to read and understand
But automation needs a way to scan across the land
SCAP Protocol Suite steps in to bridge this growing gap
Making security checklists run with just a single tap

[Chorus]
Six specifications working as one team
XCCDF, OVAL, CPE - building the machine
CCE, CVSS, OCIL too - each one plays its part
SCAP automation flowing like a work of art

[Verse 2]
XCCDF speaks in XML to structure every test
Extensible Configuration format does it best
Publishing STIGs in schemas machines can comprehend
While keeping all the guidance that administrators depend

[Chorus]
Six specifications working as one team
XCCDF, OVAL, CPE - building the machine
CCE, CVSS, OCIL too - each one plays its part
SCAP automation flowing like a work of art

[Verse 3]
OVAL dives deep with technical checks so precise
"Is minimum length fifteen?" - it runs the test twice
Open Vulnerability Assessment Language knows the way
To verify configurations every single day

[Bridge]
CPE identifies the platform where tests should run
CCE gives standard names when configuration's done
CVSS scores the severity from low risk up to ten
OCIL asks the questions that need human review again

[Chorus]
Six specifications working as one team
XCCDF, OVAL, CPE - building the machine
CCE, CVSS, OCIL too - each one plays its part
SCAP automation flowing like a work of art

[Verse 4]
Common Platform Enumeration maps the systems right
Common Configuration names keep standards burning bright
When humans need to answer what machines cannot decide
OCIL Interactive Language keeps reviewers as your guide

[Outro]
From manual checklists to automated scans
SCAP Protocol Suite executes your plans
Six components unified in automation's embrace
Security compliance running at machine-driven pace
