6clicks and CDW Canada partner to accelerate sovereign GRC across Canada

Written by 6clicks Editorial | Sep 18, 2026

6clicks is proud to announce its partnership with CDW Canada, one of Canada’s leading technology solutions providers. 6clicks is helping Canadian organizations strengthen governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) through a modern, sovereign-first approach designed to improve visibility, control, and resilience across increasingly complex operating environments.

A new partnership for modern, sovereign GRC in Canada

As regulatory expectations evolve and organizations face growing pressure to demonstrate control over data, AI systems, third parties, and critical operations, GRC teams need more than disconnected tools and manual processes. They need scalable, evidence-based assurance that supports where and how their organization operates.

 

The 6clicks GRC platform enables Canadian organizations to modernize risk and compliance programs while maintaining the flexibility to operate across cloud, on-premises, and sovereign environments.

Why the partnership matters

“We’re excited to partner with CDW Canada because they bring deep expertise, trusted relationships, and real scale across the Canadian market,” said Kelly Williams, Strategic Partner & Growth Specialist, Americas, 6clicks. “Together, we can help organizations take a more modern approach to GRC, moving away from manual, disconnected processes and toward a smarter, more connected way to manage risk, compliance, and assurance.”

 

Dr. Heather Buker, Chief Customer Officer, 6clicks, added: “CDW Canada brings the market reach, customer trust, and advisory expertise needed to help Canadian organizations rethink GRC for a new era. For 6clicks, this partnership is valuable because it connects our AI-powered, sovereign GRC platform with one of Canada’s most respected technology advisors. Together, we’re helping organizations move beyond fragmented, manual compliance processes toward a more modern, scalable, and intelligent way to manage risk, controls, and regulatory obligations, one that reflects Canada’s expectations around trust, data, sovereignty, and operational resilience.”

What 6clicks offers

The partnership provides access to a comprehensive GRC platform designed to support organizations with complex assurance, regulatory, and operational requirements.

This includes:

  • In-country hosting options for Canadian organizations. Supporting customers that need local data residency and greater confidence over where their GRC data is stored and managed.
  • Sovereign deployment. Helping organizations address evolving expectations around sovereignty, privacy, security, and regulatory alignment while continuing to modernize their GRC operating model.
  • An all-in-one GRC platform. Bringing risk, compliance, controls, audits, assessments, issues, third-party risk, evidence, and reporting into one connected environment instead of relying on spreadsheets and fragmented systems.
  • Scalability for complex organizations. 6clicks’ Hub & Spoke multi-entity architecture supports enterprises, public sector organizations, regulated industries, and advisory-led environments that need centralized control with localized execution across multiple teams, entities, clients, or programs.
  • Comprehensive Content Library. Giving teams access to ready-to-use frameworks, standards, controls, risks, assessment templates, and compliance content to accelerate setup and implementation.
  • AI-powered GRC enablement. Hailey AI helps teams work faster across assessments, control mapping, gap analysis, evidence validation, and remediation while keeping human oversight in place.

The changing GRC landscape in Canada

The partnership also aligns with broader developments shaping the Canadian GRC market. Canada’s sovereignty conversation is moving beyond where data is hosted toward whether organizations can prove control over access, security, systems, third parties, and critical operations. Latest cybersecurity trends also point to the growing importance of frameworks like ITSG-33, data residency, integration capabilities, and unified visibility for Canadian organizations managing complex technology and compliance environments.

Helping Canadian organizations scale trust and resilience

6clicks’ unified GRC platform has in-country hosting, sovereign deployment, native multi-entity architecture, AI-powered enablement, and ready-to-use content. This helps Canadian organizations modernize how they manage governance, risk, and compliance while enabling scalable program management.

 

This partnership marks another milestone in 6clicks’ growing presence across North America and reinforces its commitment to supporting Canadian organizations with sovereign GRC capabilities. We’re making it easier for organizations to demonstrate resilience, maintain continuous assurance, and navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape with confidence.
