Summary:
The documentation shows a moderate Windows bias. While it does mention Linux VMs in some audit policies, Windows-specific controls (such as password complexity, password age, and password history) are described in detail, with no equivalent Linux examples or controls provided. The section on password management focuses exclusively on Windows VMs, and there are no Linux command-line or configuration examples. Windows tools and policies are mentioned explicitly, while Linux is only referenced in passing or in a limited context.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux VM password policy audit controls and examples, such as auditing /etc/login.defs or PAM configuration for password complexity and aging.
- Include Linux-specific examples or references wherever Windows-specific policies are described, especially in password management and complexity sections.
- When listing audit results or controls, ensure Linux and Windows are treated equally (e.g., 'Show audit results from Linux and Windows VMs that do not enforce password complexity').
- Where possible, add sample Azure Policy definitions or remediation steps for both Windows and Linux platforms.
- Avoid listing Windows controls first or exclusively; present both platforms in parallel for each relevant control.
