The 6clicks Implementation Guide

Our mission is to support your success

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 cybersecurity for businesses paramount.

The idea was to provide advisors and businesses with a platform that integrates 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. a unique Hub & Spoke architecture that makes deployment easy for advisors and businesses with autonomous teams,
2. a platform powered by AI (now Hailey, our AI engine),
3.  and 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.
