1️⃣ Understand, Adhere to and Promote Professional Ethics

Technical Concept	Technical Definition	Purpose / Big Picture	Example 1 (Technical)	Example 2 (House Analogy)
ISC² Code of Professional Ethics	Four canons guiding CISSP conduct – protect society, act honorably, provide diligent service, advance the profession.	Builds global trust in security professionals.	Refusing to bypass audit logs even under pressure.	Architect refuses to hide cracks in a wall report.
Organizational Code of Ethics	Company-specific moral principles aligned to law + culture.	Reinforces ethical decision-making inside governance.	Following client-data privacy policy.	Family rules set to maintain harmony.

🧠 Flow: Principles → Behavior → Trust
🔺 3-Layer Pyramid:

• Why: Ethics = trust currency of security.
• How: Managers model behavior → culture replicates it.
• Differentiate: ISC² (global professional) vs Org ethics (local policy).
