Which of the following canons is found in the ISC2 code of ethics?

The (ISC)² Code of Ethics consists of four mandatory canons that all members must adhere to. Option D, "Provide diligent and competent service to principals," is a verbatim match for the third canon of this code. The other options are either incomplete or altered versions of the remaining canons. The four official canons are:

1. Protect society, the common good, necessary public trust and confidence, and the infrastructure.

2. Act honorably, honestly, justly, responsibly, and legally.

3. Provide diligent and competent service to principals.

4. Advance and protect the profession.

A. This is an incomplete version of the first canon; it omits the phrase "necessary public trust and confidence."

B. This incorrectly uses the word "promote" instead of "protect," which is the term used in the fourth canon.

C. This incorrectly includes the word "safely" and omits "justly, responsibly" from the second canon.

"For example

the (ISC)² code of ethics includes the tenets 'Protect society...' and 'Provide diligent and competent service to principals.'" This confirms the wording of the canons.
