Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias, particularly in sections related to password management and VM auditing. Windows VM password policies are described in detail, with multiple audit controls and examples, while Linux VM password controls are mentioned less frequently and with less detail. Windows-specific audit items are listed before Linux ones, and some controls (e.g., password complexity, password age, password reuse) are only described for Windows VMs, with no Linux equivalents or guidance. There are no PowerShell-heavy examples, but Windows tools and patterns are prioritized in certain areas.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Linux VM password policy controls and audit definitions, such as minimum password length, password complexity, password age, and password reuse restrictions.
  • Provide examples and guidance for enforcing strong password policies on Linux VMs, including references to common Linux tools (e.g., PAM, passwd, chage).
  • Ensure audit controls and recommendations are presented in a platform-neutral order, or grouped by OS, rather than listing Windows controls first.
  • Where controls are OS-specific, explicitly state this and provide parity or alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
