Hello, I trust you are well. I'm Anthony Stevens, CEO and founder of 6clicks. Today, I'm excited to share with you a whitepaper describing federated GRC - the approach to cyber GRC we pioneered with the launch of 6clicks over four years ago.  This approach has revolutionized cybersecurity, risk and compliance management for decentralized organizations. I hope you find the whitepaper useful.

What is federated GRC?

Federated GRC is an approach that combines the autonomy of individual business units (teams) with central governance oversight, allowing tailored compliance and risk management while maintaining a cohesive framework. This approach addresses the inefficiencies posed by traditional GRC solutions in federated environments.

Why federated GRC?

In 2019, we pioneered a GRC architecture designed specifically to support organizations with a federated business model, resulting in over 170% total cost of ownership savings compared to traditional enterprise GRC software. This approach enables faster deployment and perfectly balances autonomy at the team level with control and governance at the center. It is ideal for advisory firms, asset/portfolio managers, large enterprises, government, and critical infrastructure.

We call this architecture "Hub & Spoke" (learn more about Hub & Spoke here).

Although overdue, I'm excited to now share our early designs, rationale, and experiences from the past few years in this whitepaper, which I thought you'd find useful.  You can see the table of contents below.
