OutSystems Developer Cloud earns SOC 2 attestation for security

OutSystems has announced that its Developer Cloud (ODC) has achieved SOC 2 attestation. This certification is particularly significant for organisations that deploy mission-critical systems and applications managing sensitive personal data. The attestation follows an evaluation by Baker Tilly, a global professional services network, which scrutinised OutSystems’ adherence to the SOC 2 security, privacy, and availability framework.

SOC 2 attestation is a crucial requirement for industries including finance, banking, government, insurance, and manufacturing, which are often highly regulated. OutSystems’ Founder and CEO, Paulo Rosado, commented on the attainment, stating, “This is the result of the work we have done with customers across 21 industries who run mission-critical systems with our platform. With SOC 2 attestation, our customers know that their systems are safe and will stay private and secure.”

The OutSystems Developer Cloud is a cloud-native, low-code application development platform designed to increase developer efficiency. It accelerates the speed of development and change while offloading the work of building, integrating, and maintaining a modern development platform. With features such as real-time collaboration, lifecycle management, and rapid delivery of high-quality apps, ODC aims to meet the evolving business needs of its users. The platform includes an integrated development environment (IDE), automated build and deployment capabilities, and incorporates security and performance guardrails from inception.

In light of the SOC 2 attestation, Melanie Stewart, Senior Operations Manager of Information Technology and Intelligence & Automation at HORNE, said, “OutSystems is the one platform that can deliver all of our client needs given it is secure, scalable, and enterprise-grade. Our teams will be even more confident leveraging OutSystems for our critical business applications, with the highest levels of security assurance.”

OutSystems emphasises that its platform is designed to bring comprehensive security features to organisations, enabling them to focus on developing applications that deliver significant business value across the enterprise. It underpins this with end-to-end modern security measures incorporated into every aspect of platform and application development.
