TL;DR
6clicks Intelligent GRC enables teams to create test-specific guidance for manual evidence submissions using AI. Hailey assesses submissions against the guide, highlights quality and coverage gaps, and suggests next steps, helping teams improve evidence before it reaches review.
Not every evidence request should be automated. Some evidence still needs to be gathered and submitted by people; but manual collection doesn’t have to mean guesswork, incomplete submissions, or lengthy back-and-forth with reviewers. With 6clicks Intelligent GRC, teams can automate evidence validation to ensure submissions are complete and fit for purpose before they are accepted, streamlining the review process. Explore this capability under iGRC and learn how it can help organizations augment manual workflows and accelerate audit readiness:
When it comes to manual evidence collection, submitters may use different approaches without knowing which one is most appropriate for the request. They might upload a policy, screenshot, or system export, only for a reviewer to find that the submission doesn’t provide enough evidence to show the control is operating as intended. By then, the review is already delayed, and the submitter may still not know what the “right” evidence is.
To address this problem, intelligent evidence validation — one of the core features of Intelligent GRC in 6clicks — is designed to standardize what good evidence looks like before it reaches the review process. It enables teams to generate test-specific guidance using Hailey, the platform’s intelligence engine purpose-built for GRC. Once submissions come in, teams can then use Hailey to assess evidence against this guide, automatically highlighting gaps and providing clear validation ratings and suggested actions so teams can ensure evidence is adequate before submission is confirmed.
With intelligent evidence validation, teams can benefit from:
Overall, intelligent evidence validation helps organizations make manual evidence collection more consistent, seamless, and proactive to support stronger, more defensible assurance.
For manually configured tests in 6clicks, Hailey automatically generates a validation guide based on the linked asset, control definition, and general assessment criteria. The guide defines what valid evidence should demonstrate for each request associated with a specific control and asset.
Once a submitter uploads evidence, Hailey automatically analyzes it against the guide and produces comprehensive findings, including the validation status, evidence quality, met requirements and gaps if any, as well as suggested actions. The submitter can then address the issues and resubmit the evidence, and if it passes the next round of validation, the evidence is automatically submitted.
Key features of intelligent evidence validation include:
AI-generated validation guide: Ready-to-use validation guide detailing the required evidence, pass/fail criteria, freshness standards, and review cadence, editable by control owners.
Validation status: Each evidence submission is assigned a clear validation rating: Passed, Partial, or Failed.
Evidence quality: Evidence quality is evaluated as Strong, Adequate, or Weak.
Requirement coverage and gaps: Findings show the number of requirements that are met, partially met, or not met. Any identified gaps are organized by priority and include suggested actions for proactive remediation.
Full test log: Reviewers can access the entire test log, including initial submissions and Hailey’s findings and reasoning for a fully traceable and auditable record.
With Intelligent GRC, organizations can spend less time chasing evidence and more time acting on clear findings, addressing gaps, and strengthening assurance. Transform manual evidence collection and get started with 6clicks iGRC.
