Well Health & Anecdotes

Challenge 

• Their GRC team was managing GRC through disconnected tools and spreadsheets, which became increasingly challenging as the company expanded through M&A and organic growth.
• Each new subsidiary introduced unique regulatory requirements and operational frameworks, adding complexity.
• Traditional GRC tools offered limited visibility and rigid, one-size-fits-all structures that couldn’t adapt to the distinct ways different business units operated.  

Solution

• WELL Health’s GRC team leveraged Anecdotes to design an architecture where each subsidiary operates with autonomy in its own dedicated workspace, while WELL Health maintains comprehensive oversight. 
• Eight business units onboarded in weeks, with more joining every quarter.
• 38 proprietary plugins now run continuously, automatically collecting data for WELL Health’s systems and testing for gaps using out-of-the-box and custom rules.

Results 

• 73% reduction in manual work: Automated evidence collection and mapping saved hundreds of hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars annually.
• Real-time insights: A single source of truth replaced spreadsheets, providing continuously refreshed, AI-powered compliance and risk insights.
• Enterprise-grade scalability: Granular scoping and customization made onboarding new entities and frameworks seamless.
• Always audit-ready: Continuous automation ensured perpetual audit readiness, freeing teams to focus on risk management and strategic planning.
