0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Timely.com is a technology company specializing in AI-powered automatic time tracking software designed primarily for consultancies, agencies, and SaaS businesses. Positioned as a leading solution in its market segment, Timely offers comprehensive features including automatic tracking, AI-generated timesheets, project dashboards, and extensive integrations with popular productivity tools. The company emphasizes accurate time data to drive business insights and operational efficiency. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and strong branding consistency. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, Segment Analytics, HubSpot marketing tools, Google Tag Manager, and VWO for optimization. It supports multiple platforms including web, Windows, Mac OS, iOS, and Android, indicating a broad technical infrastructure. Performance and mobile optimization are excellent, with good SEO and accessibility practices in place. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, employs multiple security headers, and uses best practices such as rel='noopener noreferrer' on external links and cookie consent mechanisms. However, explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are not publicly available, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, Timely.com presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and technical maturity. The lack of WHOIS domain registration data slightly reduces transparency but does not significantly impact trust given the strong external trust signals and professional web presence. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security policies and enhancing transparency around data protection roles.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 16 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Timely.com operates in the technology sector, offering SaaS-based automatic time tracking solutions that leverage AI to improve business productivity and profitability. Its market positioning as a leader in automatic time tracking for consultancies, agencies, and SaaS companies is supported by a large user base (20,000+ users) and positive customer reviews. The business model is subscription-based SaaS with tiered pricing plans. Key revenue streams likely include subscriptions and enterprise services such as tailored onboarding and training. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with integrations across major productivity platforms like Asana, ClickUp, Monday.com, and Google Calendar. Growth indicators include active marketing, case studies, and a comprehensive resource hub.

Security posture

Timely.com demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide and multiple security headers implemented to protect against common web vulnerabilities. The site uses cookie consent banners and privacy policies aligned with GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of publicly available incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies indicates a gap in transparency and readiness communication. There is no explicit mention of security certifications or frameworks such as ISO 27001 or NIST. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal security policies and incident response procedures to build greater trust and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy on the website to improve transparency and security readiness.
  2. Consider obtaining and displaying recognized security certifications (e.g., ISO 27001) to strengthen trust with enterprise customers.
  3. Enhance visibility of data protection officer contact information to comply with GDPR and improve user trust.
  4. Maintain and regularly update cookie consent and privacy policies to ensure ongoing compliance with evolving privacy regulations.
  5. Continue investing in technical security controls and regular security assessments to proactively identify and mitigate risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and integrations such as Segment Analytics, HubSpot marketing tools, Google Tag Manager, and VWO for A/B testing and optimization. The site supports multiple platforms including web, Windows, Mac OS, iOS, and Android, indicating a robust and versatile technical infrastructure. Performance is optimized with preconnects, asynchronous script loading, and responsive design ensuring excellent mobile usability. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced with explicit ARIA roles and keyboard navigation improvements. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and structured JSON-LD data. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed, suggesting a well-maintained and modern web presence.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
