Product Update: Introducing Merged Evidence from Anecdotes

Continuous evidence merging unlocks insights faster

Many GRC controls call for multiple evidence artifacts from different systems. Until now, comparing this evidence has required GRC teams to stitch separate datasets together by hand, tying up valuable time and inevitably causing human error. With Merged Evidence, Anecdotes offers a better solution.

Merging evidence can now be done automatically without coding

GRC teams that enjoy Anecdotes’ AI-native platform can now use Anecdotes’ no-code Merged Evidence tool to quickly and efficiently combine datasets from different source systems. The merged evidence acts like any other evidence in Anecdotes, allowing teams to search, filter, scope and test it.

Gain a bird's-eye view across systems with a single click

Merged Evidence provides continuous data enrichment, delivering ongoing insights GRC teams just can’t get from manual comparison alone. Advanced datasets let teams see at a glance if endpoints in one system don’t match data from another source. 

What does it do?

Merged Evidence enriches your GRC data by combining datasets from any two systems into a single dataset. GRC teams can query this dataset and set custom rules for continuous monitoring. 

How it works:

1. Merging Datasets that Share a Common Field

For example, use the “Serial Number” field to combine endpoints about managed devices from multiple systems into one dataset.


2. Querying the Merged Dataset

Query the new dataset to gain new insights and set custom rules to tailor your continuous monitoring program. 


3. Monitoring Compliance Continuously

Merged Evidence continuously monitors your advanced datasets for compliance gaps, providing ongoing visibility across systems.


Tailored continuous monitoring makes the most of your system data

Having GRC data from multiple sources should speed you up, not slow you down. Merged Evidence automates dataset consolidation and puts time back on your GRC team’s calendar. Then, by setting up rule-driven monitoring, you’ll empower your team to catch compliance gaps the moment they appear.
