    • Discovered: When detected + how
    • Assessed: Severity/scope assessment
    • Notified: Authority notifications (GDPR, EU AI Act)
    • Remediated: Actions taken
    • Resolved: Incident closed
    • Post-Mortem: Root cause analysis
  3. For each event:
    • Enter timestamp
    • Add description
    • Attach evidence (logs, tickets, notifications)
