Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. Many control mappings and audit recommendations specifically reference Windows VMs, Windows web servers, or Windows-only tools (e.g., Microsoft IaaSAntimalware extension), often without equivalent Linux examples or guidance. In several controls, only Windows audit steps are described, while Linux systems are mentioned less frequently or omitted entirely. Windows-specific terminology and tooling are used more prominently than Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
- For every control that references auditing or deploying prerequisites on Windows VMs or web servers, add equivalent instructions and examples for Linux VMs and web servers.
- Where Windows-specific tools (e.g., Microsoft IaaSAntimalware extension) are mentioned, include Linux-compatible alternatives (e.g., instructions for deploying ClamAV or other supported antimalware solutions on Linux VMs).
- Ensure that endpoint protection, vulnerability assessment, and secure communication controls provide parity between Windows and Linux, including explicit mention of supported Linux extensions and configurations.
- When referencing audit results or configuration checks (e.g., Administrators group membership, account policies), provide Linux equivalents (e.g., sudoers file, passwd/shadow file checks) and describe how to implement these audits on Linux systems.
- Review the order and prominence of Windows vs. Linux examples to avoid presenting Windows as the default or primary platform.
- Where controls are applicable to both Windows and Linux, use inclusive language and provide parallel examples for both platforms.
