ISC2 Code Taskforce Member

Drawing from the insights and experiences of our community, the ISC2 Code Taskforce is a volunteer advisory group that supports the continued integration and evolution of the newly adopted ISC2 Code of Professional Conduct (the “Code”). Volunteers bring diverse cybersecurity expertise and real-world perspectives to help ensure the Code remains relevant, practical, globally applicable, and aligned with emerging technologies and professional expectations.

Purpose

The ISC2 Code Taskforce (“Code Taskforce”) offers strategic and practical guidance to help implement the Code effectively. Code Taskforce members serve as key partners to ISC2’s ethics and compliance leadership by providing insights, validation, and member-focused perspectives. The Taskforce ensures that the Code:

  • Reflects cybersecurity practices across regions and roles.
  • Is put into practice through effective education, awareness, and integration.
  • Evolves responsibly alongside emerging technologies.
  • Supports fair, consistent, and credible enforcement and advisory processes.

Responsibilities

Volunteers serving on the Code Taskforce may contribute to some or all of the following areas, depending on availability and interest:

  • Awareness and Outreach
    • Support awareness efforts (e.g., speaking opportunities, communications, and other engagement activities).
  • Training and Education
    • Support creation of member-facing training and scenarios.
    • Help identify topics where professionals may need additional clarification or guidance.
  • Integration and Adoption
    • Provide insight and explore ways to integrate the Code into member programs and professional practice.
  • Enforcement and Advisory
    • Contribute to early development and testing of enforcement principles, advisory concepts and protocols.
    • Offer practitioner perspective on fair and practical approaches.
  • Ethical Frameworks for Emerging Technologies
    • Participate as subject matter expert in the development of ethical frameworks in areas of emerging technologies.
  • Ongoing Feedback and Member Perspective
    • Serve as a sounding board throughout the year.
    • Surface regional, role-specific or sector-specific insights.
    • Highlight risks, opportunities, or gaps in the program.

Time Requirement

Code Taskforce membership is a yearlong commitment, with appointments lasting a calendar year. Participation is flexible, allowing members to change their involvement levels as needed.

In certain situations, the role might be reassigned to ensure ongoing progress.

To promote meaningful collaboration and efficient use of time and resources, Code Taskforce members are expected to:

  • Attend, come prepared, and actively participate in scheduled virtual meetings, which will vary in frequency based on focus areas and engagement levels.
