Seamless data protection in no-code
Gartner predicts 70 % of new enterprise apps will be built on low‑/no‑code platforms by 2025. That same study warns that most of those apps will launch outside IT’s direct line of sight.
Translation: data is flowing into spreadsheets, form builders and automation tools that security teams can’t even see—let alone protect.
The no-code security blind spot
| Pain point | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Invisible apps | Business units spin up Airtable bases and Zapier Zaps that never hit the change‑control board. |
| Fragmented permissions | Each platform has its own role model; over‑privilege becomes the default. |
| Integration gaps | Webhooks and token‑based APIs bypass traditional perimeter controls. |
| Compliance drift | Without a full inventory, mapping controls to GDPR or SOC 2 is guesswork. |
Four pillars of seamless data protection
| Pillar | Tooling |
|---|---|
| Locate | Use agent‑less API polling + log analysis (Redact does this in minutes). |
| Lock | Apply field‑level encryption; inherit policies via policy‑as‑code. |
| Limit | Graph‑based permission radar; SCIM‑driven lifecycle management. |
| Log | Leverage webhook collectors or Redact's SIEM connector pack. |
Quick-start playbook
- Run a discovery scan – Inventory every no‑code asset in < 30 minutes.
- Baseline your data flows – Identify PII and regulated data stores.
- Set guardrail templates – Encrypt at rest, mask in transit, least‑privilege by default.
- Monitor & iterate – Track a composite risk score, drill down on spikes, auto‑open Jira tickets.
The outcome
- 82 % reduction in MTTR for mis‑config incidents
- 40 % fewer audit findings related to “uncontrolled data flows”
- Zero slowdown reported by citizen developers in post‑pilot surveys
