Summary
The documentation exhibits 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 specific to Windows, while Linux VM controls are mentioned less frequently and with less detail. Windows examples and tools (such as password complexity, age, and reuse settings) are presented exclusively, with no equivalent Linux guidance or parity in password management controls. Additionally, Windows VM audit results are listed before Linux VM results, and some controls are Windows-only.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux VM password management controls and examples, such as auditing /etc/login.defs, PAM configuration, or chage settings for password complexity, age, and reuse.
- Provide Linux-specific audit policies and remediation guidance for password management, not just file permission checks.
- Ensure that examples and controls for both Windows and Linux are presented with equal detail and prominence.
- When listing VM-related controls, alternate or group Windows and Linux examples together to avoid implicit prioritization.
- Review all sections for OS-specific bias and add missing Linux/macOS guidance where applicable.
