1-4Security PrinciplesEasy

Which body acts on a complaint that an ISC2 member intentionally violated the Code of Ethics?

The exam testing centerTesting centers handle exam integrity on exam day, not ethics complaints against certified members.
The member's direct managerAn employer can discipline an employee, but it has no authority over an ISC2 credential.
A government licensing boardISC2 certification is a private credential, not a government license, so no licensing board is involved.
An ISC2 peer review panelCorrect · your answerCorrect. Peer review is the enforcement mechanism the Code names.

Correct.

Concept

A professional code of ethics is enforced by the certifying body itself, through a defined disciplinary process run by peers rather than by outside authorities.

Why D

The Code states that members who intentionally or knowingly violate any provision are subject to action by a peer review panel, which can revoke certification.
