ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question
Your company is rolling out a new customer-analytics platform, and a vice president asks the cloud engineering lead to download a competitor's proprietary dataset that was mistakenly left in a public Git repository. Before replying, the engineer reviews the organization's code of ethics. According to the primary purpose of an organizational code of ethics, what type of information should the engineer expect to find that will help determine the proper course of action?
A concise set of principles and behavioral guidelines that define acceptable and unacceptable conduct for all personnel.
An exhaustive table of predefined disciplinary penalties for every possible policy violation.
A detailed technical procedure describing how to retrieve and store external datasets securely.
A legally binding agreement absolving employees of responsibility when acting under executive orders.
An organizational code of ethics is intended to articulate the organization's values and the standards of conduct expected of everyone who represents it. By spelling out principles such as respect for intellectual property, compliance with laws, and acting with honesty, the code guides employees when they face ethical dilemmas and empowers them to make decisions aligned with corporate and societal expectations. It is not meant to provide step-by-step technical procedures, legal waivers, or exhaustive disciplinary matrices-those belong in separate policy, contract, or HR documents. Therefore, the engineer should look for the statement of ethical principles and behavioral guidelines that clarify whether using improperly obtained data would violate the organization's ethical standards.
