Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias, particularly in sections related to password management and VM auditing. Windows VM password policies are detailed with multiple audit points, while Linux VM password and authentication controls are mentioned less frequently and with less detail. There are no Linux-specific examples or parity in the depth of controls described for Linux systems. Windows terminology and tools are referenced without equivalent Linux alternatives or examples.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux VM password policy audits (e.g., minimum password length, complexity, password age, reuse restrictions) alongside Windows examples.
- Include Linux-specific examples and guidance for controls, especially where only Windows VMs are mentioned (such as password management and complexity).
- Ensure that for every Windows VM control or audit, a corresponding Linux VM control is described if available, or explicitly state if not applicable.
- Reference Linux-native tools and configuration patterns (such as PAM, passwd, chage, or auditd) where relevant, not just Windows Group Policy or settings.
- Structure lists and descriptions so that Linux and Windows are given equal prominence, rather than listing Windows first or exclusively.
