TL;DR
Regulations change constantly. Clients can't track it themselves, and they expect their MSP to stay ahead of it. 6clicks gives partners the tools to monitor regulatory change and keep client compliance programmes current automatically.
The regulatory change challenge
Compliance is not a static target. Regulations are introduced, amended, and updated continuously — and the pace has accelerated sharply in the last three years. NIS2 came into force across the EU. DORA requirements took effect for financial services. Australia updated the Privacy Act and Essential Eight. The SEC introduced new cyber disclosure rules in the US.
For clients, tracking all of this is genuinely difficult. Most organisations don't have the internal resources to monitor regulatory change across every relevant jurisdiction and framework, assess its impact on their current controls, and implement updates in a timely way.
For managed service providers (MSPs), this is a service opportunity: regulatory change management as part of a managed GRC retainer.
What regulatory change management looks like in practice
A structured regulatory change management service involves:
- Monitoring — tracking changes to frameworks and regulations relevant to each client
- Impact assessment — evaluating what changes mean for the client's existing controls and compliance posture
- Gap analysis — identifying new requirements not currently addressed
- Remediation planning — creating a plan to close gaps before regulatory deadlines
- Reporting — communicating changes and their implications to client management and boards
How 6clicks supports regulatory change management
6clicks maintains and updates its pre-built framework library as standards and regulations evolve. When a framework is updated, MSPs can assess the impact on existing client engagements and identify controls that need to be reviewed or updated.
The platform's assessment and risk register capabilities allow MSPs to systematically work through the impact of regulatory changes across their entire client portfolio — turning what would otherwise be a chaotic reactive process into a structured, manageable workflow.
