Tempo Timesheets: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Tempo Timesheets is a time-tracking app for Jira. Team members record the hours they spent on each issue, so time is visible per task and project. The app is listed on the Atlassian Marketplace and, according to the vendor, is aimed at enterprise organisations. The vendor's website refers to ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certification, states GDPR compliance and links to a Trust Center.

According to its own about page, Tempo is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, with offices in Montreal, Košice, Kyiv and Reykjavík. Diversis Capital is listed as a growth investor, but its country has not been established. The pages reviewed do not state where customer data is hosted or which data centres are used. As a US-headquartered provider, Tempo is subject to US jurisdiction, including the CLOUD Act. A European organisation should therefore request the processing terms and hosting locations, which are not set out on the pages reviewed. No self-hosted version is described on those pages.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Tempo Timesheets

Tempo Timesheets is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model.

Tempo Timesheets hosts data outside the EU (US). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

Tempo Timesheets is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Tempo Timesheets together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
