London, United Kingdom – 27 February 2026. 6clicks, a global leader in AI-powered governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) software, has successfully renewed its UK Cyber Essentials Plus certification for the year 2026, reinforcing its commitment to supporting enterprises, government agencies, and defence organisations in the UK by aligning with robust cybersecurity standards and regulatory requirements.
The UK Cyber Essentials is a certification scheme developed by the National Cyber Security Centre, recommending baseline cybersecurity controls to protect organisations against common cyber threats. The Cyber Essentials Plus certification process involves rigorous independent testing and verification of technical measures across five control areas, including firewall implementation, security update management, secure configuration, user access management, and malware protection.
Many government, defence, and critical infrastructure entities are required to maintain UK Cyber Essentials certification, making it essential for suppliers and service providers seeking to work with them. 6clicks’ latest recertification provides independent assurance of the platform’s readiness to serve the UK’s essential sectors and support national security initiatives.
Apart from holding certifications for both regional and global standards for cyber and AI governance, including UK Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001, and ISO 42001, 6clicks also has a dedicated instance and data centre in the UK and has recently launched the same in Germany, solidifying its presence in the broader EU region and reaffirming its mission to enable intelligent, secure, and sovereign GRC operations for organisations worldwide. Now, with its newly unveiled self-hosted deployment options for government, defence, regulators, and critical infrastructure, 6clicks further strengthens its position as a trusted partner for organisations operating in complex and highly regulated sectors.
Shirin Jacobs, Head of Governance, Risk, and Compliance at 6clicks, expresses her enthusiasm for this milestone:
“Attaining UK Cyber Essentials Plus certification once again is a testament to our ongoing commitment to meeting the highest standards of cybersecurity and assurance for the organisations we serve. With this achievement, our customers can gain complete confidence in the security, suitability, and strength of the platform they rely on. I would also like to extend my thanks to each team at 6clicks that supported the process, from auditor interviews to evidence preparation.”
– Shirin Jacobs, 6clicks Head of GRC
