One example of a precaution taken: Spread-spectrum clocking.

Perfectly clocked signals have really high EM spectral peaks (noise radiated at particular frequencies). You can intentionally make the clock a little worse, spreading that radiation over more of the spectrum, and it will reduce the chance that those peaks break other things.
