Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Controls and audit actions for Windows virtual machines (VMs) are frequently mentioned before their Linux equivalents, and some controls are exclusively described for Windows (e.g., password policies, antimalware deployment). Several audit and deployment examples focus solely on Windows VMs, with Linux coverage present but less detailed or sometimes omitted. Windows-specific tools and settings (such as Microsoft IaaSAntimalware extension, password complexity, and domain join status) are referenced without Linux alternatives or parity in explanation.
Recommendations
- Ensure every Windows-specific control or example has a Linux equivalent, especially for password policies, domain join status, and antimalware solutions.
- Present Linux and Windows examples in parallel, rather than listing Windows first or exclusively.
- Include references to Linux-native tools (e.g., ClamAV, auditd, password complexity enforcement via PAM) where applicable.
- Expand explanations for Linux controls to match the detail given for Windows (e.g., describe how to audit password policies and enforce minimum password length on Linux VMs).
- Review all audit and deployment actions to ensure Linux systems are equally covered, and add missing Linux examples where only Windows is mentioned.
