Aerospace & Defense
The complete GRC solution for aerospace and defense
Drive innovation while managing complex compliance requirements on a global scale.
Industry challenges
The assets, related data and customers aerospace and defense organizations manage require the highest level of security, meaning there are specific standards and frameworks that these organizations must adhere to. These standards and frameworks are extensive, contain complex controls that require specialist personnel, processes and technology, take many months and sometimes years to comply with and vary from government to government and sometimes department to department.
The Aerospace & Defense sector also grapples with exceptionally intricate risk management demands. Projects must be executed punctually, within budget, and precisely to the outlined specifications – no compromises. Concurrently, upholding an impeccable reputation for exceptional organizational performance has never been more critical, given the rise in recent competition from older and newer players.
Our solution
6clicks provides a scalable and comprehensive GRC platform for large and distributed organizations running multiple GRC programs across different departments, projects, services and jurisdictions, from enterprise risk management to companywide audit programs.
6clicks Hub & Spoke enables organizations to centrally enforce best practices at the Hub while allowing teams and departments to work autonomously in their own Spokes, ensuring sensitive data and information is only accessible to the right people. The level of autonomy of Spokes is flexible, which is essential depending on the type of work a team is undertaking, the jurisdiction they are working in and the compliance obligations they must adhere to. Regardless of Spoke autonomy, reporting can be rolled up and consolidated for a whole of company view.

Pain
Sending and responding to audits across teams using email and spreadsheets
Using email and spreadsheets for audit processes presents challenges such as version control issues, limited collaboration, data security concerns, the lack of audit trail, potential data entry errors, resource intensiveness, and overall inefficiency.
Solution
6clicks streamlines the audit processes across your teams, from planning to remediation. It offers a simple approach to sending and responding to assessments and audits, robust audit trails, benchmarking, status management, collaboration, and comprehensive reporting. The audit and assessment module is also tightly integrated with our risk and issues modules to streamline remediation, significantly reducing inefficiencies and pain points associated with spreadsheets, emails and highly repetitive manual processes.

Pain
Cut and pasting from spreadsheets to documents to create static reports
Manually copying data from various spreadsheets and word documents when running an audit or assessment to produce static reports is extremely time-consuming, error prone and inefficient.
Solution
By utilizing 6clicks' report generator, you can automate the creation of audit and assessment reports, saving significant time and reducing manual effort. Define audit report templates, everything from layout to style, integrate data sources and automate data retrieval, streamlining the entire audit report creation process and ensuring best practice and repeatability every time.

Managing and reporting on distributed GRC programs and use cases across departments, teams and markets
Solution
6clicks' unique Hub & Spoke architecture provides a centralized risk and compliance function that spans distributed GRC programs and use cases across departments, teams and markets. The Hub makes it possible to define risk and compliance best-practice and content centrally, which is 'pushed down' to spokes (GRC programs, departments, teams and markets) that utilize the full suite of 6clicks GRC modules for day-to-day activities. Consolidated reporting and analytics are rolled up at the Hub level, giving the organization comprehensive reporting and insights across all Spokes.
Pain
Managing the full lifecycle of risk at scale
Enterprise risk management is complex and extremely challenging when undertaken using spreadsheets. It involves collaborative risk identification, time-consuming assessments and control implementation, and manual, diverse reporting requirements. The process is further complicated by specified workflows and escalations that must be adhered to. Programs are inconsistent and fragmented without a unified system, especially in larger organizations, leading to inconsistent quality and effectiveness.
Solution
6clicks revolutionizes enterprise risk management by offering a single integrated solution. It simplifies the process with features like turn-key risk libraries, custom assessment frameworks and workflows, driving consistency in risk programs across the organization. With integrated control and policy capability, it easily links controls directly to risks, enhancing control effectiveness and risk management. 6clicks also streamlines risk reporting and supports task assignment, tracking, and evidence collection on a single, integrated, secure platform.

Pain
Managing the full lifecycle of controls and policies and ensuring compliance at scale
Managing controls and policies is inefficient due to rapid regulatory changes, the labor-intensive process of developing and implementing high-quality controls, and the lack of a unified system. This disorganization results in redundant efforts, poor adherence, compliance gaps, and difficult audits, primarily when outdated controls go unchecked.
Solution
6clicks streamlines control and policy management with an all-in-one solution. Its features include a Content Library for turn-key compliance obligations and controls, an AI-enhanced controls builder, and actionable control task creation and linkages. The system simplifies evidence gathering for control effectiveness, and auto-maps controls to compliance needs, leveraging our AI engine and eliminating manual mapping. Integrated audit modules and a Trust Portal make auditing, sharing with stakeholders and proving compliance easy.

Pricing
6clicks is built for aerospace and defense entities, uniquely aligning with their structural and operational needs while forgoing the complex pricing models of our peers. We take a unique pricing approach, focusing on the required number of teams—representing departments, jurisdictions, projects or services—rather than the number of users, modules or use cases.
Our Enterprise license is ideal for aerospace and defense firms requiring multiple teams, leveraging our unique Hub & Spoke architecture. Each team operates their GRC activities from a dedicated Spoke, ensuring data and operational separation with unrestricted access to modules, users, content, and a powerful AI engine, all connected to a central Hub for centralized administration, content management, and aggregate reporting.
