Third-Party risk still runs on questionnaires and point-in-time reviews. With Anecdotes, dedicated agents run the full vendor lifecycle on real evidence: discovering vendors, verifying claims, and scoring risk against your standards. You set the rules, the agents do the work.

Launch a tiered program in under an hour, then surface the vendors already in use across your stack.
Agents enrich, classify, collect evidence, assess, and score every vendor on real evidence.
Portfolio-wide posture, exception-only review, and always-on agents that keep every vendor current.
Third-Party Risk runs on the same continuously collected, audit-grade data as the rest of your GRC program, applied to the vendor context with intelligent workflows built for third-party risk.
Choose an industry preset, review the tiers, rules, and questions it loads, and launch a working program in under an hour. Then let Discovery surface the third parties already in use across your stack, including the long tail of smaller vendors that usually goes unmanaged.

Key Features
Start from presets built for specific industries, each on its own reassessment cadence.
Use preset per-tier question sets or upload your own. The questions stay; the manual, self-attested questionnaire goes.
Describe a classification rule in plain language and AI converts it into structured logic, with conflict detection so rules never contradict each other.
Surface vendors automatically through the plugins already in your environment, with weekly auto-sync, deduplication, and add-by-name or chat.

Every vendor runs through a continuous, per-vendor pipeline of dedicated agents. Each does real work and hands off to the next, so a vendor goes from discovered to scored without manual assembly, and every answer traces back to a source.

Builds the vendor's initial profile and pulls in the data needed for classification and assessment.
Evaluates the vendor against your tier logic, answers the classification questions, and assigns the matching tier.
Determines which documents are in scope, fetches public ones, requests private ones, and validates each as it arrives.
Completes a tier-based security assessment using your question sets, with traceable evidence for every answer.
Generates a context-aware residual risk score with a written explanation of what drove it up or down.
Key Features

Each question is answered Pass or Fail with the supporting document, section, and a confidence score.
Every score comes with a written rationale, so it is transparent and defensible to auditors, leadership, and the business.
Residual risk is scored against your tiers, questions, and evidence, not a universal benchmark.
Answers come from ISO certificates, SOC 2 reports, trust centers, and other verifiable sources, rather than vendor-filled forms.

Your program is a living view of third-party risk, not a stack of completed forms. See portfolio-wide posture at a glance, drill into any vendor for the full record, act only where judgment is needed, and let background agents keep every vendor current.
Key Features

Filter the portfolio by tier, score, status, and next assessment, then open any vendor for the full audit record: classification reasoning, per-question evidence, findings, and history.
Query your portfolio, kick off an assessment, add a vendor, or review a decision, all in one thread. Chat is the shared surface where the TPRM team and Anecdotes’ TPRM agents ask, act, and decide together.
A prioritized queue surfaces only the decisions that need a person, customized to the needs of the team. Human-in-the-loop by design, not by default.
Background agents track reassessment timelines, monitor for expired documents, and recalculate risk when evidence changes, on the cadence you set per tier.
Build Custom Agents in Agent Studio
Use the Anecdotes Agent Studio to build agents that act on the events that matter to your program.

Stop scoring vendors on claims you can't verify. Start with a program where agents discover, verify, and score every vendor on real evidence, and keep your portfolio current. You set the rules, the agents do the work.
Anecdotes runs each vendor through a continuous, per-vendor pipeline of dedicated agents that handle enrichment, classification, document collection, assessment, and risk scoring. Each agent does real work and hands off to the next, so a vendor moves from discovered to scored without manual assembly, and every answer traces back to a source.
Each stage is handled by a dedicated agent. Enrichment builds the vendor's profile and gathers the data needed downstream. Classification evaluates the vendor against your tier logic and assigns a tier. Document Collection determines which documents are in scope, fetches public ones, requests private ones, and validates each. Assessment completes a tier-based security assessment with traceable evidence for every answer, and Risk Score produces a context-aware residual score with a written explanation.
Anecdotes generates a context-aware residual risk score for each vendor using reasoning rather than a fixed formula. The score is calculated against your tiers, questions, and evidence, not a universal benchmark, and every score comes with a written rationale of what drove it up or down.
Discovery connects through the plugins already in your environment and surfaces the third parties already in use across your stack, including the long tail of smaller vendors that usually goes unmanaged. Review the list and pull vendors into your program in one click, with auto-sync and deduplication keeping the inventory current.
Most teams launch a working, tiered program in under an hour. Smart Setup loads industry-preset tiers, classification logic, and question sets, which you refine by hand or with AI, instead of the weeks of configuration traditional tools require.
Anecdotes TPRM is organized around four workspaces: the Vendor Portfolio, a live view of every vendor's posture and status; the Vendor Profile, the full record for a single vendor; the Action Hub, a prioritized queue of decisions that need a person; and TPRM Chat, a shared thread to query data and take action.
Always-On Agents keep every vendor current by tracking reassessment timelines, monitoring for expired documents, on the cadence you set. Risk is also recalculated each time evidence changes. This covers reassessment and document currency; it is not real-time external threat monitoring.
This is custom, depending on the needs of your teams. Agents can handle the routine work automatically, and the Action Hub will surface only the decisions that need human judgment, such as tier approvals, assessment calls, and exceptions. Human-in-the-loop is a deliberate design choice, so coverage scales without adding headcount while your team keeps control of the calls that matter.
