Melbourne, Australia – November 10, 2025 – 6clicks, a global governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platform founded in Australia, has been named a finalist in the 2025 ARN Innovation Awards, highlighting the company’s commitment to empowering partners and organisations through AI-driven automation, sovereign, enterprise-grade technology, and a channel-first delivery model.
The recognition places 6clicks among Australia’s leading technology innovators, celebrating its unique approach to modernising the GRC landscape — combining AI, flexible licensing, and scalable architecture to deliver a more open, collaborative model for advisors, managed service providers, and enterprises globally.
Redefining GRC through a partner-first model
From the outset, 6clicks was built to eliminate the barriers that traditional GRC platforms imposed on partners. The company’s unlimited-user licensing and white-label flexibility enable advisors and managed service providers to deploy solutions under their own brand while leveraging the reliability and security of 6clicks’ global SaaS infrastructure.
Its Hub & Spoke federated architecture model allows frameworks and content to be managed centrally while supporting localised delivery across clients and geographies, helping partners achieve both standardisation and agility at scale. Meanwhile, Hailey, the world’s first AI engine purpose-built for GRC, automates control mapping, assessment responses, task creation, and more — reducing manual effort by up to 80%.
“Our go-to-market model was designed around partner success,” said Andrew Robinson, Global Public Sector Lead at 6clicks. “By combining AI efficiency, scalable architecture, and sovereign cloud control, we enable partners to deliver faster, more profitable, and compliant services across demanding frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and the Essential Eight.”
Trust, innovation, and growth
6clicks’ commitment to responsible innovation extends beyond product development. It was one of the first Australian technology companies to achieve ISO 42001 certification, the international AI management standard — demonstrating that AI ethics, governance, and transparency are foundational to its technology and partner ecosystem.
The company’s Partner Portal and Partner Academy provide training, certifications, enablement resources, and co-marketing opportunities that help advisory firms and service providers accelerate growth in regulated industries such as finance, defence, energy, and the public sector.
“Our continued growth is fuelled by the strength of our partner ecosystem,” said Louis Strauss, Chief Commercial Officer of 6clicks. “Across APAC, EMEA, and North America, we’re seeing incredible momentum from partners who are building new service models on top of our platform. Their success proves that a collaborative, channel-led approach is the future of GRC.”
“What makes this recognition special is that it celebrates the people behind it,” added Heather Buker, Chief Customer Officer of 6clicks. “Our team, partners, and customers all share the same vision — to make compliance simpler, smarter, and more accessible. That shared purpose drives everything we do.”
The ARN Innovation Awards celebrate vendors, startups, and service providers leading transformation across Australia’s IT channel. Winners will be announced on November 27, 2025, in Sydney.
