Summary
The documentation exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Several control mappings and policy definitions reference Windows-specific features, tools, or audit scenarios (e.g., Windows VM Administrators group, password policies, antimalware extension, secure communication protocols for Windows web servers) without equivalent detail or examples for Linux systems. In some sections, Windows controls are listed before Linux ones, and some controls (e.g., password complexity, antimalware) are only described for Windows. Linux is referenced in some audit controls, but not as consistently or with the same depth as Windows.
Recommendations
- Ensure all Windows-specific audit and deployment examples have Linux equivalents, especially for password policies, domain join status, and antimalware solutions.
- Present Linux and Windows controls in parallel, rather than listing Windows controls first or exclusively.
- Include references to Linux-native tools and security patterns (e.g., auditd, fail2ban, Linux password complexity settings) where applicable.
- Expand documentation for Linux VM security controls to match the detail given for Windows (e.g., describe how to audit and enforce password complexity, minimum/maximum password age, and account management on Linux VMs).
- Where only Windows examples are given (e.g., secure communication protocols for web servers), add Linux web server equivalents (e.g., Apache, Nginx TLS configuration).
- For endpoint protection, mention and provide guidance for Linux-compatible antimalware solutions.
