IT Consultant Code of Conduct

Whether seeking new business, pitching fresh projects, inheriting another firm's initiatives, or administering and supporting current clients' systems, technology consultants must maintain the highest levels of professionalism. Consultants must protect clients' networks, data, trade secrets, proprietary information, and other sensitive material from unauthorized access. Individual consultants must exercise the same care to safeguard the consulting organization's business practices and operations. For these reasons, technology consultants must always abide by specific rules and implicitly understand behavioral expectations.
