The answer is ‘yes’, what might we have overlooked with regard to this aspect, or how could this situation arise in our case - then explore how, and review the defences against that particular threat.
Recheck the risk associated with these events against current attitudes and defences to help avoid them. Then given that nothing can ever be that good, what else might be done, or if the worst happens how would the recovery from the situation be managed.
