ACS CODE OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT
Introduction
This report outlines a detailed description on the provided scenario of “Early

issue and analysis of this issue from the perspective of ACS code of professional conduct will
be provided here. Moreover, a relevant recommendation on the basis of this analysis will also

Discussion
Identification of Ethical Issue from the Video of Early Launch
Greg is the project manager of Willis project, who is working with Jason, the senior
developer, under program director for making the project successful. However, the CEO of
the organization feels that if this particular project is been delivered to the client one month
before the delivery date, they will be getting their next contract worth 3 million dollars and
the organization would be highly profited (Scenario 3: Early Launch. 2019). For getting extra
bonuses and profit from the organization, they will be delivering the project without
encryption. Greg is not happy with this decision as he thinks that the system might get hacked
due to lack of security. However, the program director is forcing Greg to launch the project
without taking into consideration the chance of project getting hacked. This is extremely
unethical as the program director and CEO is not only cheating the client but also forcing
Greg to take this unethical step in their business.
