1. Adopt a security-minded approach to your professional and personal life
2. Apply responsible judgement and take a leadership role
3. Comply with legislation and codes, understand their intent and be prepared to seek further improvements
4. Ensure good security-minded communications
5. Understand, comply with and seek to improve lasting systems for security governance
6. Contribute to public and professional awareness of security
