The main function of an organizational code of ethics is to establish a framework that guides employee behavior and decision-making by articulating the company's moral standards, principles, and expectations for conduct.
In information security contexts, this code helps employees understand their responsibilities regarding the protection of data, appropriate use of resources, and expected behaviors when faced with security-related dilemmas or incidents. Unlike security policies which provide specific rules and procedures, an ethical code operates at a higher level by establishing the moral compass that should guide all actions and decisions within the organization.
