In a typical setting, not all employees have access to a GRC platform, which creates barriers to raising risks and delays early visibility. Today, we’re removing that friction with risk forms, making it simple for anyone in the organization to submit risks through a customizable, public-facing form. Introduced for the first time in 6clicks, this new capability gives teams a faster, more inclusive way to capture issues before they grow. Let’s explore it in depth and highlight the many ways it can benefit your organization.
Risk forms are dynamic response forms that users can create, customize, and publish in 6clicks. Part of the Risks module—alongside Risk Registers, Risk Libraries, and Risk Reviews—this feature is designed to make risk submission seamless and accessible across your organization. Beyond risk and compliance professionals with platform access, any employee can now complete a risk form to directly raise risks.
By removing barriers to submission, risk forms facilitate the timely, thorough, and effective detection of risks which further ensures proactive response. With this new capability, organizations can:
Design risk forms without restrictions – Easily build risk forms with configurable fields aligned to your controls and workflows, supporting multiple input types such as rich text, dropdowns, and date selection.
Enable frictionless risk submission – Provide one-click submission forms so anyone in the organization can submit risks without the need to use the platform.
Streamline risk intake – Simplify how risks are captured and created, building on the ease of use already available with our custom issue submission forms.
Boost organizational engagement – Increase participation in risk management across the business and gain earlier visibility of potential risks.
Integrate data in real time – Each form entry feeds directly into the 6clicks platform, instantly creating new risks, automatically populating risk details and assessment fields, and updating your risk register in real time.
Together, these benefits make risk forms a powerful addition to the 6clicks Risks module, helping organizations capture issues earlier, respond faster, and strengthen their overall risk management program.
Beyond being easy to use for employees submitting risks, risk forms are also highly configurable for administrators and risk managers. From the platform, users can:
Set form details: Define the form name, description, owner(s), and the default workflow stage that will be assigned to any risks captured through the form.
Customize form fields: Add fields to capture key risk details such as Risk Name, Description, Risk Domain, Date, or other custom fields. The Risk Name is mandatory by default, and you can mark other fields as required and reorder their sequence.
Configure risk assessment fields: Users can also enable risk assessment within the form and:
Choose the appropriate label (Current, Planned, Residual, etc.)
Add risk assessment fields such as Assessment Title, Date, Likelihood, and Impact
Define mandatory fields and reorder their sequence
Share via public link: Once you have configured the form, click Publish to generate a publicly accessible URL that non-risk or compliance teams can use to submit risks.
With highly customizable risk forms, users gain full control over how risks are submitted, assessed, and tracked—ensuring the process fits seamlessly into existing workflows while encouraging wider participation.
Start using risk forms in 6clicks today and make it easier than ever for your entire organization to capture, assess, and manage risks in real time.
