What is 6clicks
6clicks is a governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platform used to manage IT risk, security compliance, audits, and third-party/vendor assessments in a single system. It supports risk registers, control and policy libraries, evidence collection, workflow automation, and reporting for common security and privacy frameworks. Typical users include security, risk, compliance, and internal audit teams that need to coordinate assessments and remediation across business units and suppliers. A differentiating characteristic is its emphasis on reusable content (e.g., control mappings and assessment templates) to reduce duplication across multiple frameworks and programs.
Broad GRC coverage in one tool
6clicks supports multiple adjacent programs—risk management, compliance, audit activities, and third-party assessments—within the same platform. This can reduce the need to maintain separate systems for audits, control tracking, and vendor questionnaires. It also helps teams keep a single source of truth for risks, controls, issues, and evidence. For organizations running several assurance programs, this consolidation can simplify governance and reporting.
Reusable control and assessment content
The platform is designed around libraries and mappings that can be reused across frameworks and assessment types. This approach can reduce repeated work when the same controls must be evidenced for different standards or customer requests. It also supports standardization of how risks and controls are described across teams. Reuse can improve consistency in scoring, testing, and remediation tracking.
Workflow and evidence management
6clicks includes workflows for assessments, approvals, and remediation tracking, along with centralized evidence collection. This helps coordinate tasks across control owners, auditors, and vendors and provides an audit trail of actions and artifacts. Structured workflows can reduce reliance on email and spreadsheets for status tracking. Reporting features support management visibility into open risks, issues, and compliance posture.
Implementation requires configuration effort
As a configurable GRC platform, 6clicks typically needs upfront setup of libraries, workflows, roles, and reporting to match an organization’s operating model. Teams without dedicated GRC administration may find initial rollout time-consuming. Data migration from spreadsheets or legacy tools can add additional effort. Time-to-value depends heavily on how much standardization already exists internally.
Depth varies by specific module
Because it spans several categories (audit, compliance, vendor risk, and regulatory change), some organizations may find that certain specialized needs require additional configuration or complementary tools. For example, highly regulated industries may need very specific reporting formats, testing methodologies, or integrations. Buyers should validate that the audit methodology, vendor questionnaire workflows, and regulatory change processes match their requirements. Module fit can differ by use case and maturity level.
Integration needs may drive complexity
Organizations often need integrations with identity providers, ticketing systems, document repositories, and security tooling to streamline evidence and remediation. If required connectors are not available out of the box, integration work may require services or custom development. This can affect ongoing maintenance and change management. Integration scope should be confirmed during evaluation, especially for automated evidence collection expectations.
