The (ISC)² Code of Ethics is structured around four mandatory canons that all members must adhere to. The official canons are:

1. Protect society, the common good, necessary public trust and confidence, and the infrastructure.

2. Act honorably, honestly, justly, responsibly, and legally.

3. Provide diligent and competent service to principals.

4. Advance and protect the profession.

Option B states, "Provide active and qualified service to principal." While similar in intent to the third canon, the official wording is "diligent and competent," not "active and qualified." This distinction makes option B not an official canon of the (ISC)² Code of Ethics.
