Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. Windows VM password policies are audited in detail, with multiple controls and explicit requirements listed, while Linux VM password policies are only briefly mentioned and lack equivalent detail. Windows-specific audit controls (e.g., password complexity, password age, password history) are present, but there are no corresponding Linux examples or controls for these settings. Additionally, Windows VM audit results are listed before Linux VM audit results, and Windows tools/patterns (such as password management) are referenced without Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent audit controls and examples for Linux VM password policies (e.g., minimum password length, password complexity, password age, password history).
- Provide parity in documentation by listing Linux VM controls and examples alongside Windows VM controls, not only after or less prominently.
- Reference Linux tools and configuration patterns (such as PAM, /etc/login.defs, chage, passwd) where appropriate for password management and auditing.
- Ensure that audit results and policy definitions for Linux VMs are as detailed and comprehensive as those for Windows VMs.
- Consider including cross-platform examples and guidance for all relevant controls, not just Windows-centric ones.
