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.
