Navigating the future of AI governance in the Gulf
The GCC is leading global innovation in artificial intelligence — but with sovereign AI strategies come new governance imperatives.

In response, this forum explores practical pathways from AI policy to scalable, evidence-driven assurance.

Other vendors we looked at drove significant implementation costs... 6clicks made it easy for us to address all of these use cases without incurring additional cost.
Going back about two years ago, we looked at different products and landed on 6clicks because it provided the scalability and ease of use we needed to encourage adoption.
The company selected 6clicks after being highly recommended by one of its sister companies and based on the comprehensive GRC solution offered.
