Summary
The documentation references Windows-specific cryptographic modules and validation programs multiple times, particularly in the FIPS 140 section, and highlights Windows Hello for Business as an example of an authenticator meeting high assurance requirements. While the document states that Azure uses both Linux and Windows, the detailed compliance and validation examples are Windows-centric, with links and explanations focused on Windows FIPS validation and Windows Hello. Linux equivalents (e.g., Linux FIPS modules, Linux authentication solutions) are not mentioned or linked, and Windows tools are presented first and more thoroughly.
Recommendations
  • Include references and links to Linux FIPS 140 validation processes and modules used in Azure.
  • Provide examples of Linux-based authentication solutions (such as PAM, FIDO2 keys on Linux, or integration with Azure AD from Linux endpoints) that meet CJIS and NIST requirements.
  • Clarify how Linux workloads in Azure meet the same compliance and security standards, with explicit mention of Linux cryptographic modules and their validation.
  • Balance examples by mentioning Linux and macOS tools and patterns alongside Windows, especially in sections about authentication and cryptography.
  • Add guidance or links for Linux administrators on configuring and validating compliance for Linux-based Azure resources.
