Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. Many audit and security controls are described only for Windows VMs (e.g., auditing Administrators group membership, security settings, and secure communication protocols), with no equivalent examples or instructions for Linux VMs. Windows-specific tools and extensions, such as the Microsoft IaaSAntimalware extension, are mentioned without Linux alternatives. In sections where both Windows and Linux could be relevant, Windows is often listed first or exclusively, while Linux coverage is limited or absent.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples and controls wherever Windows VM controls are described, such as auditing sudoers or privileged groups, password policies, and secure communication protocols.
- Mention and document Linux-compatible antimalware and endpoint protection solutions alongside Windows tools.
- Ensure that audit prerequisites and instructions are available for both Windows and Linux VMs, including guidance for common Linux distributions.
- Where controls reference Windows-specific configuration (e.g., 'Security Settings - Account Policies'), add equivalent Linux configuration guidance (e.g., PAM, passwd, sudoers).
- Review ordering and presentation to avoid listing Windows controls first or exclusively when both platforms are supported.
