Explanation
Negligence - the failure to act with reasonable care - is the primary legal basis for liability in security and professional contexts. Due diligence (researching what needs to be done) and due care (actually doing it correctly) are the two defenses against liability; demonstrating both typically shields a professional from legal responsibility. Remorse is an emotional response and has no direct legal bearing on liability determination.
