How to use 6clicks dashboards for client board reporting

 

TL;DR

 

Board reporting on cyber risk and compliance is now a governance obligation in many jurisdictions. 6clicks dashboards give MSPs the tools to produce board-ready GRC reports that clients can present with confidence.

Why board reporting on GRC matters

In an increasing number of jurisdictions, boards are legally required to exercise oversight of cyber risk and compliance. In Australia, the ASIC climate and cyber governance guidance, the APRA (Australian Prudential Regulation Authority) CPS 234 standard, and the Privacy Act all create board-level accountability. In the EU, NIS2 and DORA impose direct obligations on management bodies. In the US, the SEC now requires public companies to disclose material cybersecurity incidents and describe board-level oversight.

This means clients need more than good security — they need documentation of it, in a format their board can review and act on.

What a board-ready GRC report looks like

Effective board-level GRC reporting should:

• Summarise risk posture — current risk levels, trends, and material changes since the last report
• Show compliance status — which frameworks are in scope, what is compliant, what has gaps
• Highlight key incidents — any security incidents during the reporting period and their status
• Track remediation progress — actions taken to address identified gaps
• Flag emerging obligations — new regulatory requirements on the horizon
• Be visual and accessible — boards are not security specialists; charts and summaries are more effective than dense technical detail

How 6clicks enables board reporting for MSPs

6clicks dashboards are designed to produce this type of output natively. MSPs can configure dashboards for each client that display:

• Compliance posture by framework with progress indicators
• Risk register summary with heat maps
• Open issues and incident counts
• Remediation action status
• Trend data showing posture over time

These dashboards can be exported or shared with clients, giving boards the visibility they need without requiring additional report preparation effort from the MSP.

Structuring board reporting as a managed service

MSPs can offer board reporting as a component of a managed GRC retainer. A typical cadence might include:

• Monthly — dashboard update with highlights for the management team
• Quarterly — formal risk and compliance report for board or audit committee
• Annual — comprehensive review covering the full year

This creates regular, structured client contact and reinforces the value of the managed service at the governance level.
