ISACA Code of Ethics

ISACA sets forth this Code of Professional Ethics to guide the professional and personal conduct of
members of the association and/or its certification holders.
Members and ISACA certification holders shall:
1. Support the implementation of, and encourage compliance with, appropriate standards and
procedures for the effective governance and management of enterprise information systems and
technology, including: audit, control, security and risk management.
2. Perform their duties with objectivity, due diligence and professional care, in accordance with
professional standards.
3. Serve in the interest of stakeholders in a lawful manner, while maintaining high standards of
conduct and character, and not discrediting their profession or the Association.
4. Maintain the privacy and confidentiality of information obtained in the course of their activities
unless disclosure is required by legal authority. Such information shall not be used for personal
benefit or released to inappropriate parties.
5. Maintain competency in their respective fields and agree to undertake only those activities they
can reasonably expect to complete with the necessary skills, knowledge and competence.
6. Inform appropriate parties of the results of work performed including the disclosure of all
significant facts known to them that, if not disclosed, may distort the reporting of the results.
7. Support the professional education of stakeholders in enhancing their understanding of the
governance and management of enterprise information systems and technology, including: audit,
control, security and risk management.
Failure to comply with this Code of Professional Ethics can result in an investigation into a member's or
certification holder's conduct and, ultimately, in disciplinary measures.
