Grace period ends
Revocation begins
The grace period for existing Rev5 authorizations to meet VDR & VER ends. Non-compliant certifications face revocation after this date.

Bring evidence and security data directly from the source, structured so it can generate machine-readable compliance packages a reviewer can query. It's the same structured data that lets you automate FedRAMP reports instead of writing them.
Move from hand-written SSPs to the machine-readable 20x model without starting over. Existing Rev 5 documentation and the evidence behind it become inputs to your 20x preparation, not work you repeat.
Automate your control validation, evidence collection, and remediation workflows without custom development. You configure the agents that collect and validate evidence inside the platform, without the engineering sprint, and every agent action stays explainable and owned by a person.
Your compliance posture in real time is available to assessors and agencies through Anecdotes' Trust Center. FedRAMP program status is ready to consume in both machine-readable and human-readable formats, and always reflects up-to-date control status.
Anecdotes | Single-Purpose Tool | |
|---|---|---|
CCM & Evidence Collection |  Native continuous evidence collection engine with a full CCM lifecycle: scoping, analysis, mitigation. Proven at scale with 150+ enterprises running commercial CCM on the same engine. |  A point solution built around FedRAMP paperwork rather than continuous evidence. Evidence collection is narrower, and the CCM depth Anecdotes has built over years isn't there. |
SSP Generation | Also automatically generates the SSP directly from the same live, continuously collected evidence, no separate tool or manual assembly required. | Generates SSP/POA&M documents effectively, its original core strength. But as FedRAMP shifts to continuous, rules-based validation, this is no longer a unique advantage. |
Unified Platform (Commercial & Federal) | One platform for commercial and federal compliance today. Customers already run both on Anecdotes, with a single vendor and unified reporting. | Not built for commercial CCM at scale. The single-purpose tool partnered with Drata rather than build commercial capability itself. Federal and commercial live on separate tools. |
Enterprise Fit | Built to fit complex environments (cloud, on-prem, and hybrid alike) with advanced data scoping that adapts to how your infrastructure actually looks, not a one-size-fits-all template. | Customers report friction with organizations that have existing authorizations, rigid control-narrative logic, and configs that don't flex across environments like multiple Okta instances. |
You've already invested in your Rev5 authorization. Anecdotes gives you the data infrastructure to operate it under CR26 and be ready for what comes next.
