1 NIST 800-171 and CMMC Level 2

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One hundred ten controls to memorize and master
NIST eight-oh-one seventy-one, your compliance disaster
Rev Two's the current standard but Rev Three's approaching fast
CUI protection boundaries, make sure your scope will last

[Chorus]
Access, Audit, Configuration too
ID and Auth will see you through
System Protection, Information pure
Six domains mapping, compliance sure
CMMC Level Two awaits your crew

[Verse 2]
Self-assessment starts the journey, document every gap
C3PAO comes knocking when you're ready for their map
POA and M submissions, assessors pick and choose
Compensating controls they'll question, weak excuses you will lose

[Chorus]
Access, Audit, Configuration too
ID and Auth will see you through
System Protection, Information pure
Six domains mapping, compliance sure
CMMC Level Two awaits your crew

[Bridge]
Scoping draws the battle lines, most crucial choice you'll make
Inside the CUI envelope, no shortcuts you can take
Network segmentation, document every flow
What touches sensitive data, every assessor needs to know

[Verse 3]
Multi-factor authentication, passwords aren't enough
Encryption at rest and transit, adversaries playing rough
Configuration baselines locked, unauthorized change denied
Audit logs capturing everything, nowhere threats can hide

[Chorus]
Access, Audit, Configuration too
ID and Auth will see you through
System Protection, Information pure
Six domains mapping, compliance sure
CMMC Level Two awaits your crew

[Outro]
From planning through assessment, controls become your shield
Defense infrastructure hardened, never break, never yield
