Last reviewed September 25, 2026 · Leer en español

Every ISC2 member, including anyone who earns the CC, agrees to follow the ISC2 Code of Ethics. It is short, but the exam tests it directly, usually with a scenario where you must decide which duty comes first. Violating the code can lead to losing your certification, and any member who knows of a violation can file a formal complaint.
