Low-Code: Innovation Without the Security Headaches?

Cybersecurity compliance. Two words that can either make you feel safe and in control — or trigger a stress-induced coffee binge.

But here's the good news: Low-code development platforms like OutSystems are making compliance easier, faster, and less painful.

How? Let's dive in.

#SaferInternetDay – Security, But Make It Simple

This is part two of our special three-part #SaferInternetDay series, where we explore how businesses can build safer digital environments without losing their minds (or their data).

Today, we're looking at how OutSystems — one of the leading low-code platforms — helps businesses stay compliant while developing apps at lightning speed.

Low-Code: Innovation Without the Security Headaches?

Traditional software development is a minefield of security risks:
-        Human errors in coding
-        Unpatched vulnerabilities
-        Inconsistent security policies across projects

Low-code platforms like OutSystems solve this by embedding security best practices into the development process.

5 Ways OutSystems Helps You Stay Secure & Compliant

-        Built-in Security Frameworks
Forget manually adding security layers — OutSystems automates security best practices from day one.

-        Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) Done Right
Control who sees what — and who can do what. No more accidental "I just deleted an entire database" moments.

-        Automatic Code Reviews & Threat Detection
OutSystems continuously scans for vulnerabilities, so security checks aren't an afterthought—they're built into the process.

-        Secure APIs & Data Encryption
Your integrations stay protected with secure API gateways and enterprise-grade encryption. No weak links. No open backdoors.

-        Compliance Without Chaos
Need to meet GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA? OutSystems helps businesses bake compliance directly into their apps — without the headache.

The Bottom Line: Security & Speed Can Coexist

With OutSystems, you don't have to choose between fast development and strong security. You get both.

And in a world where cyber threats are only getting smarter, businesses that build security into their apps from the start will be the ones that thrive.

Power BI vs. OutSystems

Meet Anna and Martin. They’re old friends who studied economics together at university but ended up in different industries. Anna joined a fast-paced retail business where data drives decisions, while Martin found himself working at a large manufacturing company — one with complex workflows and a lot of moving parts. During lunch last week, Anna said, “We’re drowning in data, and I need to turn it into something meaningful — fast.” Martin chuckled and replied, “That’s funny; we’ve been struggling to streamline our operations and speed up app development. Thankfully, our IT partner brought in OutSystems to help us tackle the problem.” For Anna and Martin, the answer to their challenges came in the form of Power BI and OutSystems — but in very different ways. Let’s dive into why these two low-code/no-code platforms are transforming their workdays.
