This set of principles has been designed to assist members in sound professional judgement while upholding ethical ideas and obligations. Our code of ethics was created by the predecessor to ITPA, The System Administrators Guild of Australia (SAGE-AU), and is globally recognised, having been adopted as the basis for similar codes of conduct by other like-minded organisations all over the world.
Our code of ethics commit our members to maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of the computer systems they manage, for the benefit of all of those involved with and affected by them. No single set of rules could apply to the enormous variety of situations and responsibilities that exist, but while IT Professionals must always be guided by their own professional judgment, we hope that consideration of this code will help when difficulties arise.
Members of ITPA are required to abide by our code of ethics at all times - failure to do so may result in exclusion from the organisation.
这套原则旨在协助会员作出合理的专业判断,同时坚持道德观念和责任。我们的道德准则由ITPA的前身澳大利亚系统管理员协会(SAGE-AU)制定,并得到全球认可,已被世界各地其他志同道合的组织采纳为类似行为准则的基础。
我们的道德准则要求我们的成员维护其管理的计算机系统的机密性和完整性,以确保所有参与和受其影响的人的利益。没有一套规则可以适用于存在的各种各样的情况和责任,但是IT专业人员必须始终以自己的专业判断为指导,我们希望考虑本守则将有助于出现困难时。
ITPA的会员必须始终遵守我们的道德准则,否则可能会被排除在组织之外。
