Question 2
Which of the following canons is found in the ISC2 code of ethics?
Advance and promote the profession
Protect society, the common good, and the infrastructure
Provide diligent and competent service to principals
Act honorably, honestly, safely and legally
Correct answer: C
Explanation:
Only "Provide diligent and competent service to principals" contains the accurate text of the ISC2 code of ethics. Although a security professional should discourage unsafe practices, no direct reference to acting safely exists in the canons. Aside from society, the common good and infrastructure, security professionals are expected to protect public trust and confidence. Finally, they are expected to protect the profession, and not just advance and promote it.
