Governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) thrive on data. With today’s businesses running on digital ecosystems, visualization and interaction with data are critical for driving strategic decisions. This is why at 6clicks, we offer seamless integration with Microsoft Power BI, a data analytics and reporting tool that enables you to combine your 6clicks data with enterprise data from other systems. Our recently released configurable dashboards then allow you to present this data in one powerful dashboard, providing next-level insights into your organization. Let’s explore this capability in depth in this blog post.
