Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing detailed audit controls and policy mappings for Windows VMs (especially regarding password policies and complexity requirements), while similar Linux-specific examples are either less detailed or missing. For instance, password management and complexity settings are only described for Windows VMs, with no equivalent guidance for Linux VMs. Additionally, Windows terminology and tools are referenced without always providing Linux alternatives or parity.
Recommendations
- Include equivalent Linux VM password policy controls and examples, such as auditing password complexity, minimum/maximum age, and password reuse restrictions for Linux VMs.
- Where Windows-specific audit items are listed, provide parallel Linux-specific audit items (e.g., for /etc/login.defs, PAM configuration, or other Linux password management mechanisms).
- Ensure that for every Windows VM control or example, there is a corresponding Linux VM control or example, or explicitly state if such parity is not available.
- Avoid listing Windows controls first or exclusively; present Windows and Linux controls together or in parallel sections.
- Reference Linux-native tools and configuration files (such as passwd, shadow, PAM, or auditd) where appropriate, alongside Windows tools.
