Risk assessments are the foundation of every GRC program — and the most time-consuming to deliver manually. 6clicks and Hailey AI transform risk assessment delivery from a multi-week manual exercise into a streamlined, consistent process that scales across your entire client portfolio.
Who this is for: MSP compliance analysts, delivery leads, and operations managers looking to increase risk assessment throughput.
TL;DR
- Traditional manual risk assessments take 2–4 weeks per client; 6clicks reduces this to 3–5 days
- Hailey AI analyzes client responses and generates risk ratings, treatment recommendations, and remediation priorities automatically
- Risk assessment templates are pre-built for common industries and frameworks in the Content Library
- Automated risk assessments maintain consistency across all clients, eliminating analyst variability
- If you are running risk assessments from spreadsheets and emails, you are leaving significant time and margin on the table
Risk assessments are a recurring obligation for every GRC client. ISO 27001 requires annual risk assessments. Essential Eight requires regular maturity reviews and ongoing validation. SOC 2 requires risk assessment as part of the ongoing program. Vendor risk management requires assessments for each new supplier.
For an MSP managing 20 clients, this means potentially 50–100 risk assessment events per year. Without automation, each one consumes 40–80 hours of analyst time. With 6clicks and Hailey AI, the same volume can be managed with a fraction of the effort.
Here are a few ways 6clicks helps MSPs manage risk assessments more efficiently:
Pre-built assessment templates
The 6clicks Content Library includes risk assessment templates for common industries (technology, financial services, healthcare, government) and all major frameworks. MSPs deploy the appropriate template for each client and assessment cycle — no template development required.
Structured evidence requests
Instead of email chains and spreadsheet attachments, 6clicks sends structured evidence requests directly to client stakeholders from within the platform. Responses are captured in the system, timestamped, and associated with specific controls.
Hailey AI risk analysis
Once responses and evidence are received, Hailey AI analyzes the submissions and:
The analyst reviews and approves — rather than building from scratch.
Risk register management
With 6clicks, MSPs can maintain a continuous risk register for each client, updated after each assessment cycle. Risks are tracked over time, showing trend data that demonstrates the value of the MSP's ongoing compliance program.
Automating risk assessments delivers significant time savings and capacity for MSPs:
That capacity can be reinvested in winning new clients or expanding service scope.
When risk assessments are delivered manually by different analysts using different templates and approaches, quality and consistency vary. 6clicks enforces consistent methodology across all client assessments:
