Healthcare providers, financial institutions, insurers, and public sector organizations face unique challenges when building modern web applications and portals. In these environments, security, compliance, auditability, and long-term maintainability are often just as important as performance and user experience. In this session, we'll explore how to evaluate and select the right web platform within the Microsoft ecosystem. You'll gain practical guidance on comparing enterprise CMS solutions, modular frameworks, and headless architecture based on real-world requirements such as identity management, governance, security controls, operational complexity, compliance, and vendor risk. We'll also examine where Orchard Core, an ASP.NET Core-based modular CMS and application framework, fits within this landscape and when it can provide advantages for organizations operating in highly regulated environments. Whether you're an architect, developer, security professional, or technology decision-maker, you'll leave with a practical framework for making informed platform choices for security-sensitive web projects.
