Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Several control mappings and policy definitions specifically reference Windows virtual machines, Windows-specific settings (such as password policies, Administrators group membership, and Microsoft IaaSAntimalware extension), and Windows web servers. In many cases, Windows examples or controls are listed before or without equivalent Linux examples, and some controls are exclusively described for Windows (e.g., password complexity, antimalware deployment). Linux coverage is present but less detailed and often appears after Windows references.
Recommendations
- Ensure that for every Windows-specific control or example, an equivalent Linux control or example is provided where applicable (e.g., password policies, administrator group management, antimalware solutions).
- Present Linux and Windows examples in parallel, rather than listing Windows first or exclusively.
- Include references to Linux-native tools and security practices (e.g., auditd, fail2ban, Linux password complexity enforcement) where relevant.
- Expand descriptions for Linux controls to match the detail given to Windows controls, especially in areas like password management, endpoint protection, and administrator group auditing.
- Where a control is not applicable to Linux, explicitly state so to clarify parity.
