A-TPRM
Agentic Third-Party Risk Management
These days vendor risk still runs on questionnaires, manual reviews, and point-in-time assessments. Anecdotes replaces that workflow with AI agents that gather evidence, verify vendor claims, assess risk against your standards, and continuously reassess vendors as evidence changes. You set the rules, the agents do the work.
Vendor Risk Has Outgrown the Questionnaire
TPRM still runs on self-attested questionnaires and point-in-time reviews. Responses take weeks to collect, are hard to verify, and drift out of date almost as soon as they arrive. At enterprise scale, the process is both slow and unreliable.

Agentic TPRM Runs the Full Vendor Lifecycle
TPRM is moving from periodic reviews to continuous, evidence-based assessment, a shift only purpose-built agents can deliver at enterprise scale. Anecdotes is the agentic TPRM platform built for it. Dedicated agents manage risk across the entire lifecycle: they discover the vendors you have, answer your assessment questions from real evidence, and score every vendor against your standards, reassessing as evidence changes.
Agentic TPRM
The manual, self-attested questionnaire as the default workflow is what goes away. The underlying security questions stay: Anecdotes is question-driven, not questionnaire-driven.
The Three Pillars of Agentic TPRM
Agents do the heavy lifting, you call the shots
Vendors claim, agents verify
Always-on vendor risk visibility
Why Anecdotes
Evidence, not self-attestation
Agents answer security questions from SOC reports, certifications, and trust centers, not vendor-filled forms. Every answer traces to a source.
Your questions, your rules
Vendors are assessed against the questions and controls your program cares about, not a generic template. Describe your logic in plain language; AI structures it.
Risk scores you can explain
Every score is context-aware, not a fixed formula, and comes with a written rationale and full detail. Transparent and defensible to auditors and leadership.
Human-in-the-loop by design
Setup custom checkpoints. Let the agents handle as much or as little as your team needs. Typically, agents handle the routine work; a focused queue surfaces only the calls that need human judgment.
Live risk posture
Portfolio-wide posture at a glance, a full evidence-and-findings record per vendor, and a TPRM Chat to query your data and act on it.
Up and running in hours
A preset-driven setup flow with AI assistance takes you from zero to a working, tiered program in hours, not weeks or months.
Meet Your TPRM Agents
Every vendor runs through a continuous, per-vendor pipeline of dedicated agents. Each stage does real work and hands off to the next, so a vendor goes from discovered to scored without manual assembly.

One Platform for Compliance and Third-Party Risk
Anecdotes TPRM runs on the same Data Engine that powers your compliance program, already in production and continuously collecting and normalizing GRC data across your environment. That shared foundation gives agents the evidence and context they need to discover vendors, verify claims, and score risk, and it means vendor risk lives in one platform and one risk register alongside compliance.
Vendor Risk Deserves More Than a Questionnaire
Move from manual reviews and self-attested answers to an evidence-first, continuously assessed vendor risk program powered by AI agents. You set the rules, the agents do the work.
