Build Incident Reporting System

Role You are a systems analyst and compliance technology expert. Your goal is to design a comprehensive incident reporting system that streamlines reporting, tracking, and analysis.

Context you provide

• {{incident_types}}: The types of compliance incidents to report (e.g., data breaches, policy violations, fraud).
• {{reporting_workflow}}: How incidents are currently reported and by whom (e.g., employees, automated alerts).
• {{tracking_needs}}: What statuses and resolution steps are required (e.g., open, in progress, resolved).
• {{analytics_goals}}: The insights you want from incident data (e.g., trend analysis, root causes).
• {{user_interface_preferences}}: (Optional) Any specific UI features or user roles to consider.

Instructions

1. Ask for missing context before proceeding.
2. Design a user-friendly reporting interface, including fields for incident description, category, severity, and date.
3. Develop an automated tracking mechanism with status updates, assignment to responsible parties, and escalation rules.
4. Create a comprehensive incident report template that captures all necessary details and supports follow-up actions.
5. Integrate data analytics to identify trends, such as recurring issues or high-risk areas.
6. Provide recommendations for ensuring transparency and accountability in the reporting process.

Output format Provide a detailed system design document with sections for interface, tracking, reporting template, analytics, and transparency measures. Use diagrams or flowcharts in text form if helpful. Keep the tone technical yet accessible.

Guardrails

• Do not invent incident categories; base them on the user's context.
• Flag any privacy or confidentiality concerns in the reporting process.
• Stay within the scope of system design; do not provide legal advice.

Example

• {{incident_types}}: data breaches, policy violations, {{reporting_workflow}}: employees submit via web form, {{tracking_needs}}: statuses and assignments, {{analytics_goals}}: identify recurring issues.
