Mumbai, India – July 25, 2025. 6clicks, pioneer of AI-powered GRC software, today announced the launch of its new instance in India, offering public, private, and dedicated hosting options for organisations across South Asia. This deployment directly addresses rising demand for data residency, regulatory alignment, and enterprise-grade cyber GRC solutions in the region.
The current risk and regulatory landscape in India has intensified amid rising cyber threats and evolving mandates. According to the Press Information Bureau’s latest release, cybersecurity incidents reported to the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) rose by 28%, climbing from 1,592,917 in the previous year to 2,041,360 in the latest count. As cyberattacks grow in both frequency and sophistication across the region, the Government of India is taking significant steps to strengthen national cyber resilience. These include new cross-border data transfer rules under the DPDP Act 2023, the launch of the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C) for nationwide cybercrime management and response, and the establishment of the National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Centre (NCIIPC) under the IT Act 2000.
To support these initiatives, the new 6clicks instance was developed in collaboration with strategic local partners such as Tata Consultancy Services and Wipro to help organisations meet evolving regulatory and cybersecurity demands. It delivers robust security, risk, and compliance functionality for enterprises, government agencies, defence contractors, and critical infrastructure operators, providing a secure, sovereign environment that aligns with key regulations and standards, including:
-
Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act)
-
CERT-In Guidelines and Directions
-
Indian IT Act and associated rules
-
Sectoral standards for defence and critical infrastructure (e.g., NCIIPC guidelines)
-
ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 42001
-
NIST Cybersecurity Framework and other global benchmarks
“India’s focus on data sovereignty and cybersecurity readiness has never been stronger, and organisations are under growing pressure to meet local and international standards simultaneously,” said Anthony Stevens, 6clicks CEO and co-founder. “With the launch of our India instance, we’re making it easier for enterprises, government bodies, and critical infrastructure operators to comply with data residency requirements while leveraging advanced cyber GRC capabilities.”
The 6clicks platform equips customers in India with a full-stack cyber GRC suite, integrating risk management, compliance, supply chain security, incident response, and audit readiness into one unified system. With a federated architecture called the Hub & Spoke, 6clicks enables centralised oversight across regions, subsidiaries, and regulated entities while maintaining operational autonomy at the local level. 6clicks Hailey AI, the first purpose-built AI for GRC, also empowers teams with next-generation automation to transform traditionally manual processes such as cross-framework mapping, gap analysis, and assessment responses, delivering greater speed, accuracy, and efficiency across critical risk and compliance tasks.
This launch builds on 6clicks’ rapid global expansion, joining recent deployments in Singapore and Japan and complementing established instances across Australia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America.
