Explanation

Due Care refers to the continuous, reasonable steps an organization or individual takes to maintain and protect assets - essentially doing what a prudent person would do to keep systems and processes in proper working order. It is the 'doing' component of legal prudence. Due Diligence, by contrast, is the investigative process of researching and understanding risks before making decisions. In legal and security contexts, failure to exercise due care can establish negligence and liability. 'Due Concern' and 'Due Practice' are not recognized legal or security terms.
