Melbourne, Australia – 12 February 2025. 6clicks, a leader in AI-powered Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) software, has launched its upgraded custom registers feature, providing Australian organizations with a powerful tool to enhance their resilience and compliance efforts under APRA’s CPS 230.
Prudential Standard CPS 230, introduced by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), mandates financial institutions to establish robust measures for managing operational risks, ensuring their ability to respond to and recover from disruptions. The framework aims to safeguard the stability and integrity of financial services by enforcing stringent operational resilience standards.
With CPS 230 coming into force on July 1, 2025, APRA-regulated entities must secure their compliance with its requirements, covering areas such as the establishment of a risk management framework, operational risk profile and assessment, incident reporting, implementation of operational risk controls, and business continuity, among others.
6clicks' new and improved custom registers empower organizations to meet these requirements by providing the capability to capture and manage different types of data, such as operational risk incidents, service provider agreements, and other key information necessary to achieve compliance with CPS 230. With custom registers, organizations can tailor data management tools, risk and compliance workflows, and security implementation to their distinct needs and use cases.
This feature offers organizations with unlimited flexibility and scalability, enabling them to:
- Streamline compliance: Create customizable registers to manage, organize, and maintain data necessary for CPS 230 compliance, including operational risk incident records, business continuity plans, service provider agreements, and more.
- Maximize efficiency: Leverage configurable data fields, workflow automation, and bulk edit options to optimize your resilience processes.
- Bolster security and governance: Implement detailed access permissions for each item or register to ensure the protection of sensitive data.
"Our custom registers offer the Australian financial sector an agile and scalable solution to build and maintain mechanisms for operational resilience. With highly adaptable registers, workflows, and security configurations, the 6clicks platform can help organizations become well-equipped to address potential disruptions and easily demonstrate compliance with the standards set by CPS 230," said Anthony Stevens, 6clicks CEO & Co-Founder.
In addition to supporting CPS 230 compliance, 6clicks’ custom registers seamlessly integrate with the platform’s core functionality, which includes IT risk management, vendor risk management, policy and control management, incident management, and audit and assessment. This allows users to link custom register items to other data such as risks, vendors, issues and incidents, controls and policies, and audit and assessment responses, therefore facilitating holistic risk management and compliance.
The release of this capability underscores 6clicks’ commitment to innovation and its mission to empower organizations worldwide with cutting-edge GRC solutions. The 6clicks team is dedicated to continuous improvement, with upcoming advancements set to enhance reporting capabilities and data visualization, ensuring even greater value and seamless adoption for users.
