Abstract: Regulatory-aware low-code platforms transform how heavily regulated industries approach enterprise application modernization by embedding compliance directly into the development lifecycle. These platforms integrate visual rule builders, policy-as-code frameworks, and automated audit trails to shift from compliance-as-afterthought to compliance-by-design. Through specialized components and event-driven architectures, they enable non-technical users and compliance officers to co-develop applications using domain-specific terminology rather than programming constructs. Case studies across financial services, healthcare, insurance, and public sector demonstrate how these platforms address sector-specific requirements such as KYC/AML compliance, 21 CFR Part 11, GDPR, and government regulatory frameworks. The technical architecture encompasses sophisticated policy engines implementing deontic logic, automated verification tools, immutable audit trail generation, and attribute-based access control mechanisms. Organizations adopting these platforms experience reduced compliance costs, accelerated time-to-market, and collaborative transformation between compliance and development teams. Emerging trends point toward AI-augmented compliance capabilities and cross-jurisdictional regulatory mapping to enhance adaptability to evolving global regulatory requirements.
