security professionals

2
00:00:02,003 --> 00:00:05,003
are also bound by the code
of professional ethics

3
00:00:05,003 --> 00:00:09,009
to act honorably and responsibly.

4
00:00:09,009 --> 00:00:13,000
Many organizations have
internal codes of ethics

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,003
that their employees must follow.

6
00:00:15,003 --> 00:00:19,003
For example, here is the
code of ethics for AT&T.

7
00:00:19,003 --> 00:00:21,008
It includes rules and guidelines for how

8
00:00:21,008 --> 00:00:24,002
employees should conduct
themselves honestly

9
00:00:24,002 --> 00:00:25,002
and ethically,

10
00:00:25,002 --> 00:00:27,000
and also how they should avoid

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,002
personal conflicts of interest.

12
00:00:30,002 --> 00:00:33,007
ISC Squared also has a code
of ethics that applies to

13
00:00:33,007 --> 00:00:36,006
all certified security professionals.

14
00:00:36,006 --> 00:00:37,007
This code of ethics has a

15
00:00:37,007 --> 00:00:40,002
preamble with two statements in it.

16
00:00:40,002 --> 00:00:43,004
These are the safety
and welfare of society

17
00:00:43,004 --> 00:00:45,000
and the common good,

18
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,005
duty to our principles and to each other,

19
00:00:47,005 --> 00:00:49,008
requires that we adhere and be seen to

20
00:00:49,008 --> 00:00:53,001
adhere to the highest
standards of ethical behavior.

21
00:00:53,001 --> 00:00:55,004
Therefore, strict adherence to this

22
00:00:55,004 --> 00:00:58,002
code is a condition of certification.

23
00:00:58,002 --> 00:01:01,003
And then there are four
canons to the code of ethics.

24
00:01:01,003 --> 00:01:04,004
Compliance with these
canons is mandatory for all

25
00:01:04,004 --> 00:01:06,006
members of ISC Squared.

26
00:01:06,006 --> 00:01:11,001
First, ISC Squared members
must protect society,

27
00:01:11,001 --> 00:01:12,006
the common good,

28
00:01:12,006 --> 00:01:15,001
necessary public trust and confidence,

29
00:01:15,001 --> 00:01:16,009
and the infrastructure.

30
00:01:16,009 --> 00:01:21,000
Second, ISC Squared
members must act honorably,

31
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,002
honestly, justly,

32
00:01:23,002 --> 00:01:25,006
responsibly, and legally.

33
00:01:25,006 --> 00:01:28,008
Third, they must provide
diligent and confident

34
00:01:28,008 --> 00:01:30,006
service to principles,

35
00:01:30,006 --> 00:01:33,009
and finally, ISC Squared
members promise to

36
00:01:33,009 --> 00:01:36,007
advance and protect the profession.

37
00:01:36,007 --> 00:01:39,004
Violations of the code of
ethics are grounds for the

38
00:01:39,004 --> 00:01:42,003
revocation of an
individuals certification.

39
00:01:42,003 --> 00:01:45,003
Members of ISC Squared who
become aware of an ethics

40
00:01:45,003 --> 00:01:48,005
breach by any other member
are required to report

41
00:01:48,005 --> 00:01:51,002
that breach to the
organization for investigation.
