ISTR that CISSP and some other tech-specific certs have a "violate our code of ethics, lose your cert" clause. But I have no memory of that actually happening. Does anyone know of a case where violation of a code resulted in a loss of tech/cyber certification specifically?
Being found to have violated laws is a deliberately public process, in part because visible censure within the group has cultural reinforcement value. For example, in the license plate club I belong to, the list of people who have been ejected from the club for cause is in every issue of our print magazine (to ensure that those ejected for cause cannot continue to predate on unsuspecting members!)
If loss for cause of a CISSP/etc. cert is invisible to other members ... what's the clause even for?
