Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. In several control areas (such as Separation of Duties, Least Privilege, and Authenticator Management), Windows-specific policies and controls are listed before their Linux equivalents, or Linux examples are less detailed or missing. There are multiple policies focused on Windows-specific tools and concepts (e.g., Administrators group, password complexity, Windows Guest Configuration extension), while equivalent Linux controls are less prominent or absent. Some controls have detailed Windows policies but lack parity for Linux, or Linux policies are listed after Windows ones.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that for every Windows-specific policy or example, an equivalent Linux policy or example is provided and described with equal prominence and detail.
- When listing policies or controls that apply to both Windows and Linux, alternate the order or group them together to avoid always listing Windows first.
- Expand Linux coverage for areas where only Windows policies are present (e.g., password complexity, group membership auditing) by including or referencing equivalent Linux controls (such as /etc/sudoers, PAM configuration, etc.).
- Where Windows tools or concepts are mentioned (e.g., Administrators group), provide Linux equivalents (e.g., sudoers, user/group management) and link to relevant documentation.
- Audit the documentation for any missing Linux-specific security or compliance controls and add them to ensure full parity.
