RISKY BUSINESS

IT’S HALF-PAST TIME TO KILL YOUR ORGANISATION'S OUTDATED RISK MANAGEMENT AND ASSESSMENT TOOLS. 6CLICKS IS HERE TO HELP.

- Anne-Frances Hutchinson

Risk. Every year, Australian companies across the spectrum of industry are faced with meeting compliance standards and effectively assessing, managing, and mitigating risk. These risks and standards are continually changing to confront new, ingenious, and pernicious attacks on the critical data that businesses collect, store, and profit from. What’s not changing for many companies is the pace at which those practices and technologies are advancing.

For 6clicks CEO Anthony Stevens, it’s well past time to move into the modern era. “It’s time to kill the spreadsheet,” he recently told VENTURE.

Many enterprises, startups, and government agencies use spreadsheets and email as a way to link information available in the public domain to their internal or external compliance requirements and keep those critical routines up to snuff. The amount of manual work required to manage the complexity of information isn’t just enormous, it doesn’t do enough to help shield organisations from the risks they are working so diligently— and with a fair measure of futility—to prevent.

TACKLING RISK HEAD-ON

Established last year in Melbourne, 6clicks is helping the modern enterprise redefine their approaches to risk and compliance by connecting organisations, third parties, service providers, and regulators from around the world. And there’s quite a bit of redefinition to be done.
