Ethics and Compliance

ISACA is dedicated to upholding the standard of excellence by establishing and communicating guidelines and expectations for our work and the licensed work of our Partners and certified professionals.

  • Code of Professional Conduct for Licensed Services

    The Code of Professional Conduct (CoPC) defines appropriate standards of professional conduct for ISACA employees, certified individuals, certification candidates, and Partners. All organizations and individuals who provide our products or services must agree to uphold the standards outlined in the CoPC by acting with honesty, integrity, and fairness, and without actual or apparent conflict of interest. To learn more about the CoPC and commit to the CoPC, submit your request here.

  • Reporting Code of Professional Conduct Violations

    Your concerns about ethical behavior and quality are important to us. If you are aware of illegal, unethical, or quality-compromising behavior, please report it immediately to the Ethics and Compliance office by submitting your request here.

  • Conflict of Interest

    A Conflict of Interest is when two or more competing priorities, loyalties, or commitments compromise ISACA employees’, Certified Individuals’ and Licensed Partners’ objectivity. ISACA is interested in helping you to manage conflicts of interest. If you have a real or perceived conflict of interest you can seek Preventive Clarification or submit a Conflict of Interest Disclosure.

    Preventive Clarification
    When considering taking an action that might be construed as a conflict of interest or other Code of Professional Conduct violation, ask for clarification by submitting your request here.

    Conflict of Interest Disclosure
    When a situation involving a conflict of interest is inherent or cannot be avoided, disclose the conflict to the affected parties by submitting your request here for a Conflict of Interest Disclosure form. 

  • Certification Agreement

    ISACA grants certifications to individuals who demonstrate proficiency in a specific set of skills, abilities and knowledge relative to a particular technology area. Visit the Certifications page for more information about all of our Certifications.

    This Certification Program Agreement (“Agreement”) is an agreement between individuals who are seeking certification, or who have earned certification, from ISACA.

All writings, works of authorship, technology, inventions, discoveries, ideas and other work product of any nature that are created, prepared, produced, authored, edited, amended, conceived or reduced to practice by ISACA employees individually or jointly with others during their term of employment by ISACA, regardless of where the work is performed or whose equipment or other resources are used, are the intellectual property of ISACA.
