TimeLog: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

TimeLog is a Danish professional services automation (PSA) platform for consultancies, agencies and other organisations that work with projects and hours. It combines time tracking, project management, resource planning, project accounting, invoicing and reporting in one system. Users work through a login portal at app.timelog.com. Integrations exist with, among others, Outlook and common accounting and payroll packages.

The operating company, TimeLog A/S, is based in Denmark, with offices including Copenhagen and Aarhus. The investor Viking Venture is among its backers; the website does not name a majority shareholder. For a European organisation, the Danish seat means the contracting party is established in the EU and subject to the GDPR. Before deployment, ask the supplier for its data processing agreement and its list of sub-processors, including where customer data is stored.

Why digital sovereignty matters with TimeLog

TimeLog is headquartered in DK and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so TimeLog scores best on data residency.

TimeLog 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 TimeLog together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
