Explanation

The (ISC)2 Code of Ethics contains four Canons listed in priority order: (1st Canon) Protect society, the commonwealth, and the infrastructure; (2nd Canon) Act honorably, honestly, justly, responsibly, and legally - this is the canon in question; (3rd Canon) Provide diligent and competent service to principals; (4th Canon) Advance and protect the profession. The Second Canon establishes the personal ethical standards that all (ISC)2 members must uphold in their professional conduct, emphasizing integrity and lawful behavior. When canons conflict, they are resolved in order of priority, meaning societal protection (1st) takes precedence over personal conduct (2nd), which takes precedence over client service (3rd) and professional advancement (4th).
