Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. Windows-specific policies and controls (such as auditing Windows Administrators group membership, password policies, and deployment of Windows Guest Configuration extensions) are listed and described in detail, while equivalent Linux controls are either absent or less comprehensive. In several sections, Windows controls are presented first or exclusively, and there are more granular controls for Windows than for Linux. There are also policies that reference Windows-specific tools and patterns without Linux parity.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that for every Windows-specific policy or example (e.g., auditing Administrators group, password complexity, Guest Configuration extension deployment), there is an equivalent Linux policy or example, or clearly state if a Linux equivalent is not available.
- Present Linux and Windows controls in parallel, rather than listing Windows controls first or exclusively, to avoid the perception of prioritizing Windows.
- Expand Linux coverage to include more granular controls, such as auditing Linux sudoers group membership, password complexity, and other common Linux security configurations.
- Where Windows tools or extensions are mentioned (e.g., Windows Guest Configuration extension), ensure Linux equivalents are described with equal detail and prominence.
- If certain controls are not available for Linux, explicitly acknowledge the gap and, if possible, provide guidance or workarounds for Linux users.
