A.
Due care

B.
Due concern

C.
Due diligence

D.
Due practice

Explanation:
Due care is performing the ongoing maintenance necessary to keep something in proper working order, or to
abide by what is commonly expected in a situation. This is especially important if the due care situation exists
because of a contract, regulation, or law. The opposite of due care is “negligence.”
EXAM TIP:
The Due Diligence refers to the steps taken to identify risks that exist within the environment. This is based on
best practices, standards such as ISO 27001, ISO 17799, and other consensus. The first letter of the word Due
and the word Diligence should remind you of this. The two letters are DD = Do Detect.
In the case of due care, it is the actions that you have taken (implementing, designing, enforcing, updating) to
reduce the risks identified and keep them at an acceptable level. The same apply here, the first letters of the
work Due and the work Care are DC. Which should remind you that DC = Do correct.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Due concern is not a valid answer. Due Care is what is described in the question.
C: Due diligence is performing reasonable examination and research before committing to a course of action.
Basically, “look before you leap.” In law, you would perform due diligence by researching the terms of a contract
before signing it. The opposite of due diligence might be “haphazard” or “not doing your homework.” This is not
what is described in the question.
D: Due practice is not a valid answer. Due Care is what is described in the question.
