Regulator‑Ready Incident Reports: Blameless RCA Language and Root Cause Classification Wording for RegulatorsStruggling to write incident reports that satisfy regulators without blaming people or over‑claiming certainty? In this lesson, you’ll learn to craft regulator‑ready narratives using blameless RCA language, standardized root‑cause classification (Process, Technology, People, Third‑Party, External), and time‑anchored, evidence‑led statements. Expect concise explanations, real‑world examples, and targeted exercises (MCQs, fill‑in‑the‑blanks, error fixes) that map to GDPR, PCI DSS, FCA, and PSD2 lenses so your readouts, RCAs, and CAPAs land cleanly on the first pass.
