Is Low-Code Secure? OutSystems Security Explained for CISOs with Fred Gruhn

CISOs don’t care how fast you build apps.
They care how fast you detect, contain, and recover.
Fred Gruhn understands that better than most.

As OutSystems’ Lead Solution Architect (Security), Fred works directly with CISOs, architects, and risk teams to assess the platform’s security posture. He helps organizations validate controls, navigate compliance concerns, and ensure that adopting low-code never means introducing unacceptable risk.

In this episode of the Drag & Drop Podcast, Fred shares:

🔘 Why security starts with culture, not just tools
🔘 What CISOs question most when evaluating low-code
🔘 How OutSystems handles access, AI policy, and scanning
🔘 Why audit trails matter from day one
🔘 Why every dev should earn the Security cert (link in comments)
🔘 How AI is shifting but not replacing security fundamentals

Fred also shares real-world insights for CIOs and CISOs evaluating low-code platforms, highlighting the importance of trust, transparency, and choosing partners who take your risks as seriously as you do.

Fred regularly posts short, insightful videos breaking down the security features across the OutSystems platform. If you're not already following him, you should. His content is a must for anyone who wants to stay up-to-date on all things OutSystems security.
