Most mid-market clients face compliance obligations across more than one framework. MSPs that can deliver multi-framework compliance efficiently — without duplicating effort — hold a significant competitive advantage. 6clicks makes this possible.
Who this is for: MSPs looking to deliver multi-framework compliance services to clients with complex regulatory obligations.
TL;DR
- Most regulated industry clients face obligations under two or more frameworks simultaneously (e.g., ISO 27001 + GDPR, or Essential Eight + ISM)
- Without cross-framework control mapping, delivering two frameworks doubles the work; 6clicks reduces it by 70% through control overlap identification
- Hailey AI automatically maps controls across frameworks, eliminating manual cross-referencing
- Multi-framework clients drive higher subscription fees and switching costs
- 6clicks supports 100+ frameworks with native cross-mapping capability
Why multi-framework compliance is the norm, not the exception
Regulated organizations rarely face a single compliance obligation. A typical mid-market technology company in Australia might simultaneously need to address:
- Essential Eight - required for government contracts
- ISO 27001 - required by enterprise customers and commonly used to support third-party assurance
- SOC 2 - required by US customers or investors
- IRAP - required for federal government and defence contracts
- Australian Privacy Principles / GDPR - data protection obligations
Delivering each of these frameworks independently, with separate workstreams and duplicated evidence, is inefficient and expensive. The right approach is an integrated multi-framework program that maps evidence and controls across all obligations simultaneously.
How 6clicks enables multi-framework delivery
6clicks equips MSPs with the following capabilities to streamline compliance across multiple frameworks:
Cross-framework control mapping with Hailey AI
Hailey AI automatically identifies control overlaps between frameworks. When a client implements an access control policy for ISO 27001, Hailey maps that same control to the equivalent requirement in Essential Eight, SOC 2, and any other active frameworks. Evidence collected once is credited across multiple framework requirements.
This reduces total evidence collection effort by up to 70% compared to delivering frameworks independently.
Unified risk register
Rather than maintaining separate risk registers for each framework, 6clicks maintains a single, unified risk register that is tagged and reported against multiple frameworks simultaneously. A single cyber risk item is assessed, treated, and evidenced once — and reported across all relevant frameworks.
Consolidated compliance dashboard
Clients see a single compliance dashboard showing their status across all active frameworks. This is a significant value-add for CISOs and risk committees who need a consolidated view of their compliance posture.
Framework-specific reporting
While the underlying data is unified, 6clicks generates framework-specific reports for each compliance obligation — assessment results, control effectiveness, and remediation progress — tailored to the language and requirements of each standard.
How to structure a multi-framework engagement
Here’s a structured roadmap you can use to plan, deliver, and scale multi-framework compliance engagements efficiently:
Phase 1: Framework prioritization
Work with the client to prioritize frameworks by urgency (upcoming audit, contract requirement, etc.) and map the overlap between them.
Phase 2: Unified gap assessment
Run a single integrated gap assessment that covers all framework requirements simultaneously. Hailey AI identifies which gaps affect multiple frameworks and suggests control improvements.
Phase 3: Integrated remediation program
Design a single remediation program that addresses gaps across all frameworks, starting with controls that satisfy multiple requirements at once.
Phase 4: Ongoing management
Maintain a unified compliance program with consolidated reporting: one subscription, multiple frameworks, single team.
Frequently asked questions
When a framework is updated in the Content Library, 6clicks automatically applies the updates to the relevant controls and requirements across all client environments. Cross-mappings are preserved and adjusted as needed.
Yes. Each client Spoke can be configured with a different combination of frameworks. The Hub provides a portfolio view that presents a consistent, comparable view of compliance status across different framework combinations.
Essential Eight + ISO 27001 is a common combination for Australian mid-market clients, particularly those with government and enterprise customers. Adding SOC 2 is typical for organizations with US customer exposure.
No. 6clicks allows you to run a unified assessment that covers all active framework requirements simultaneously, with Hailey AI mapping responses across frameworks automatically.
Yes. 6clicks supports incremental framework addition at any time. Existing evidence and controls are automatically mapped to new frameworks when they are added.
