Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Several control mappings and policy definitions reference Windows-specific features, tools, or audit checks (e.g., Windows VMs, Windows password policies, Microsoft IaaSAntimalware extension) without providing equivalent Linux examples or parity. In some sections, Windows controls are listed before Linux ones, and certain controls (e.g., password complexity, antimalware) are only described for Windows, with no mention of Linux alternatives. While Linux is referenced in some audit controls (e.g., passwd file permissions, remote access), the coverage and detail for Linux is generally less comprehensive than for Windows.
Recommendations
- Ensure every Windows-specific control or audit has a Linux equivalent described, where applicable (e.g., password policies, antimalware solutions, domain join status).
- Present Linux and Windows controls together, or alternate their order, to avoid implicit prioritization of Windows.
- Include examples or references to common Linux tools and patterns (e.g., auditd, fail2ban, ClamAV, Linux password complexity settings) where Windows tools are mentioned.
- Expand documentation for Linux-specific security controls to match the depth provided for Windows.
- Where a control is only applicable to Windows, explicitly state that and clarify the Linux equivalent or why it does not apply.
