How does Hub & Spoke work for consultants, advisors, systems integrators and managed service providers?
6clicks offers a white-labelled Hub & Spoke environment that allows our partners to provision and manage all GRC-related client engagements and services centrally from the hub. Client teams (spokes) can be created from templated teams designed for specific offerings, minimizing setup time. Advisors can then easily be granted access to client teams, and client users can be invited into their team at the right time, depending on the engagement. Build customer stickiness and revenue share with us through the 6clicks partnership program.
Why would I choose Hub & Spoke over other licenses like Growth?

The Hub & Spoke license becomes the best option for organisations managing GRC programs across multiple teams, entities and jurisdictions and who require a single-pain-of-glass view across their entire GRC landscape.
What is a Hub, and what is a Spoke?
The 6clicks Hub & Spoke 'architecture' is designed and built for running distributed GRC programs. The hub provides a centralized 'parent' team, which oversees a number of 'child' teams called spokes. Spokes typically represent a team, department, service line, business or entity running a GRC program and require some level of separation and autonomy. The hub is where content, such as audits and assessments, control sets and risk and issue libraries are created and global configurations defined. These are then 'pushed' down to spokes, where daily GRC-related activities are undertaken. Team members at the hub can drop down into spokes they have access to support these activities. Additional team members can be added directly to spokes, limiting their access to a single spoke and providing flexible user access management options.
Moreover, spoke templates can be defined at the hub, which are 'shell' spokes with pre-populated content. Spoke templates expedite spoke provisioning and enablement, meaning you can spin up turn-key spokes in seconds. You can also define spoke hierarchies using spoke groups, which provide a powerful and structured way to define, manage and report on and across your organizational hierarchy (example below).
