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

Lusavouga is a well-established Portuguese company founded in 1967, specializing in the supply and distribution of industrial equipment, tools, chemical products, and safety gear primarily for the metalworking, construction, and manufacturing sectors. With a presence in over 30 countries, Lusavouga holds a strong market position as a trusted supplier offering a broad range of products and services tailored to professional and industrial clients. The website reflects this business focus with comprehensive product categories, brand partnerships, and clear contact channels. Technically, the website employs a modern front-end technology stack including jQuery, Materialize CSS, Bootstrap, and Owl Carousel, combined with analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Privacy and cookie policies are implemented with GDPR compliance mechanisms, including consent banners and newsletter subscription forms with explicit consent checkboxes. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with an excellent SSL configuration and implements cookie consent mechanisms. However, it lacks explicit security policy documentation and incident response contact information, which are recommended for enhanced transparency and trust. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The domain registration details are consistent with the business claims, supporting the legitimacy of the website. Overall, Lusavouga's website demonstrates a solid digital presence with good content quality, technical implementation, and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in security policy transparency and incident response readiness would further strengthen its security posture and trustworthiness.

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

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Cloudflare, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 · found on this site
  • 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

Lusavouga operates as a B2B supplier and distributor in the manufacturing and industrial sectors, targeting professional clients requiring metalworking tools, chemical products, welding consumables, and safety equipment. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing market presence since 1967 and international reach across more than 30 countries. The company leverages partnerships with recognized brands and offers a comprehensive product portfolio. Revenue streams likely include product sales, logistics services, and possibly after-sales support. The website supports multi-language access, indicating a focus on diverse markets. The presence of a newsletter and social media channels suggests active customer engagement and marketing efforts. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, indicating Lusavouga operates as an independent entity.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced with strong SSL configuration, and cookie consent mechanisms are in place to comply with privacy regulations. The use of third-party analytics and tracking scripts is transparent, with no evidence of malicious or suspicious code. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact details represents a compliance gap and reduces transparency for security-related inquiries. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The site uses secure forms with GDPR consent checkboxes, enhancing data protection practices. To improve, Lusavouga should publish a security policy, provide incident response contacts, and implement additional security headers to harden the site against common web threats.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement security HTTP headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a combination of Materialize CSS and Bootstrap frameworks, supported by jQuery 2.1.1 and Owl Carousel for interactive elements. It integrates Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for user behavior tracking and marketing analytics. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for various screen sizes, with a clear navigation structure and multi-language support. Performance is moderate, with some reliance on external CDNs and scripts. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility features and performance optimizations. Hosting provider details were not identified from the HTML content.
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.
