anecdotes

anecdotes is an enterprise Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) platform, founded in 2020 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, that pairs a GRC data engine with AI agents to replace point-in-time audit cycles with continuous, evidence-backed compliance. Its Compliance OS collects evidence automatically from 230+ pre-built plugins into 1,000+ predefined artifacts, maps that evidence across 60+ frameworks at once, and drives core applications for controls, requirements, risk, policy management, findings and user access review. Developers reach the platform through a documented REST API at api.anecdotes.ai (API key exchanged for a short-lived JWT), a hosted MCP Proxy at mcp.anecdotes.ai that exposes GRC domains as agent tools, a FedRAMP 20x Trust Center API with genuinely public endpoints, SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning, and outbound event webhooks driven by Playbooks.

anecdotes publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: GRC API and FedRAMP 20x Trust Center API. Tagged areas include Company, Compliance, Governance, Risk, and Security.

The anecdotes catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

anecdotes’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 29 more developer resources.

  description: 'The Anecdotes API provides programmatic access to the Anecdotes GRC platform: frameworks, requirements, controls,
    custom fields, risks, findings, policies, analysis rules and evidence. Authentication is two-step - an API token created
    in the platform is exchanged at GET /identity/v1/apikey/exchange for a JWT valid for one hour, which is then sent as a
    bearer token on every other call. A descriptive User-Agent header is required or the API returns 403.'
