Our story

6clicks was founded in 2019 by co-founders Andrew, Louis and Ant in the face of increasing regulation across all sectors, the need for businesses to manage risk better, and a wake of high-profile hacks making cyber security for businesses paramount.

The idea was for 6clicks to be used by advisors and businesses that integrated all the functionality you need for audit, risk and compliance, content and AI to supercharge the experience and save time. Early in 2020, the 6clicks platform was released underpinned by three core characteristics that still power the platform today - 1) our unique Hub & Spoke architecture making deployment easy for advisors and businesses with autonomous teams, 2) powered by AI (now Hailey, our AI engine), and 3) with a fully-integrated content library.

6clicks' vision is to restore trust in businesses by enabling businesses and advisors to easily demonstrate compliance, improve cyber security and reimagine risk for their customers, prospects, and partners.

What's behind the name 6clicks?

Like many early stage companies, we wrestled to find a suitable name for the business. The inspiration finally came when we decided that we wanted it to be as easy as possible to send a vendor risk assessment. The goal was simple - complete this task in the fewest mouse clicks possible. 6 clicks was the goal and still is! And there you have it; the name 6clicks was born.
