Exam CISSP topic 1 question 26 discussion

Answer C Treat all members fairly. In resolving conflicts, consider public safety and duties to principals, individuals and the profession in that order. https://resources.infosecinstitute.com/certification/the-isc2-code-of-ethics-a-binding-requirement-for-certification/

Going with "C" on this one: Code of Ethics Preamble: The safety and welfare of society and the common good, duty to our principals, and to each other, requires that we adhere, and be seen to adhere, to the highest ethical standards of behavior. Therefore, strict adherence to this Code is a condition of certification. Code of Ethics Canons: Protect society, the common good, necessary public trust and confidence, and the infrastructure. Act honorably, honestly, justly, responsibly, and legally. Provide diligent and competent service to principals. Advance and protect the profession. https://www.isc2.org/Ethics

The correct answer is C. Public safety, duties to principals, duties to individuals, and duties to the profession. This aligns with the standard prioritization for resolving ethical conflicts: 1. Public safety comes first. 2. Duties to principals (such as the organization or clients) follow. 3. Duties to individuals (including protecting personal privacy and ensuring fairness). 4. Duties to the profession (upholding professional standards and integrity) come after the others.

Treat all constituents fairly. In resolving conflicts, consider public safety and duties to principals, individuals, and the profession in that order.

The Canons are actually listed in order or importance with protecting people as #1 most important. Answer is C. 1. Protect society, the commonwealth 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 number of people here seem to be overestimating the importance of individuals. There is no mention of individuals in PAPA. Public safety, principals, and profession are the only three points here to put in order. As "individuals" does not have its own section in PAPA, it comes AFTER we've put those others in order.

C is the correct answer.

The official four canons are as follows: Protect society, the commonwealth and the infrastructure. Act honorably, honestly, justly, responsibly and legally. Provide diligent and competent service to principals. Advance and protect the profession. Answer is D

public safety and duties to principals, individuals and the profession in that order.

According to the ISC2 code of ethics, the order of the ethical considerations for information security professionals is A. Public safety, duties to individuals, duties to the profession, and duties to principals.

B Both CISSP official study guide and https://www.isc2.org/Ethics state the following: Protect SOCIETY, the common good, necessary public trust and confidence, and the infrastructure. Act honorably, honestly, justly, responsibly, and legally. Provide diligent and competent service to PRINCIPALS. Advance and protect the PROFESSION. Observe, there is no reference to individuals. I speculate most of us selected option C as we are part of the individuals who make the profession and society at large. We want to be included in the factors of consideration; however, there is no mention to individuals in the Code of Canons.

C is correct - Basic ISC2 canon

Going with C, based on the resource below. I was trying to find that verbiage directly from an ISC2 resource and I couldn't, but I found some older online textbooks from about 2015 that had the same statement. My guess is some ISC2 pages probably had more similar verbiage and this question is slightly dated to that/those resources. "Treat all members fairly. In resolving conflicts, consider public safety and duties to principals, individuals and the profession in that order." https://resources.infosecinstitute.com/certification/the-isc2-code-of-ethics-a-binding-requirement-for-certification/

Why no one choose D? in my ethical conflicts duties to the profession is more than duties to principals.

C seems correct here. According to the ISC2 Canon, public safety is first, duties to principals is next and protecting the profession is last. "Individuals" aren't specifically mentioned, but since profession is clearly last, seemed reasonable individuals would be 3rd. https://www.isc2.org/Ethics

Individuals appears in all options but is not one of the canons. Canons are in order of priority. It cannot be option A or D as profession should come after principals. Canons take priority therefore individuals would be last. Answer is "B".
