preserved and enhanced. At all times members shall observe the following rules:

1. Members shall observe the highest standard of integrity, reliability and honesty with due regard to
the confidential and responsible nature of the profession.

2. The responsibility of members for the welfare, health and safety of the community shall, at all times,

anytime or place, a member shall report what the member knows or verily believes to be the truth.

4. Members shall neither maliciously nor improperly injure, directly or indirectly, the reputation,
prospects or business of another member of the profession.

5. Members shall at all times conduct themselves in a manner which will not prejudice, in any way, the
interests or reputation of the SAIWA and its membership.

6. Members shall not in the course of a member’s business, or in connection with the security
profession, accept instructions or business on the basis that no charge or fee will be payable if a
successful result is achieved, but this rule shall not prevent members from offering their services
without reward for:

(a) charitable or public purposes; or

(b) the purposes of advertising or promoting the Institute
or the business of its members generally.

7. Members shall perform work only in their areas of competence.

8. A member shall respect the relationship of confidence and trust which exists between a member and
his or her principal and shall therefore not disclose information becoming known in the course of the
practice of the security profession without the consent of the principal.

9. Members shall not offer or receive any improper financial or other inducement to secure or accept
business.
