TimeFlow S.r.l. is a technology company that develops modern and modular digital solutions designed to improve the efficiency of business processes for people-intensive organizations. With the expansion of its SaaS platforms and the continuous onboarding of new enterprise and mid-market clients, application security represents a fundamental requirement for TimeFlow to ensure operational continuity, compliance, and market trust. For this reason, during 2025, TimeFlow S.r.l. chose to collaborate with ISGroup SRL: the goal was to thoroughly analyze its Workforce & Vendor Management solution by entrusting the ISGroup team with the execution of a Web Application Penetration Test on the platform.
The challenge
For TimeFlow, it was essential to independently validate the security of its SaaS platforms, ensuring that the application architecture was properly protected against current threats. The company wanted to ensure the delivery of reliable platforms to its clients, minimizing risks related to technical or logical vulnerabilities while guaranteeing a high level of data protection.
To achieve this goal, an experienced partner was needed—one capable of supporting the internal team not only during the testing phase but also throughout the subsequent analysis and improvement process.
ISGroup SRL’s intervention
ISGroup Srl conducted three distinct Penetration Tests on TimeFlow’s platforms, thoroughly analyzing the exposed surface, authentication mechanisms, data management, and robustness of logical controls. The activity included a combination of automated analyses and manual tests, along with the simulation of realistic attack scenarios aimed at identifying potential technical or logical vulnerabilities.
Throughout the entire project, the ISGroup team collaborated closely with TimeFlow’s technical team, offering constant support both during the vulnerability identification phase and the subsequent remediation phase. This approach made it possible to quickly strengthen the overall security of the platforms while minimizing operational impact.
Results and benefits
The intervention provided TimeFlow with a clear and in-depth assessment of the security level of its SaaS platforms. The tests confirmed the solidity of the application architecture and the proper implementation of key security controls, highlighting only a few areas for optimization, which were promptly addressed with the support of the ISGroup team.
Thanks to the project, TimeFlow was able to:
- further strengthen the protection of processed data;
- improve system resilience against current threats;
- ensure a security level exceeding expectations for enterprise and mid-market clients;
- enhance its overall security posture and reinforce perceived reliability among clients and stakeholders.
The collaboration with ISGroup was particularly appreciated for the demonstrated technical expertise, process accuracy, and ability to clearly guide each phase of the project, as stated by Iacopo Albanese, CTO of TimeFlow S.r.l.:
Thanks to ISGroup, we were able to verify that our systems comply with today’s security standards, providing peace of mind both for us and our customers. The team was skilled and helpful, supporting us not only during the discovery phase but also during remediation.
The experience with ISGroup SRL
The collaboration with ISGroup SRL was particularly appreciated by TimeFlow, both for the demonstrated technical competence and for the availability and clarity shown while guiding all project phases.
As Albanese concludes:
With ISGroup, we found a reliable technical partner that is always one step ahead in cyber security.
They combined expertise and availability, making each phase of the project smooth and clear.
A rare approach that further elevated our security standards.
The intervention represented a fundamental step in consolidating the security of the TimeFlow solution and further strengthened the company’s confidence in its technological ecosystem.
