    The traditional employment system in Japan was "Shuushin Koyou".
    You were basically assured your job until retirement.
    So before there were any Information technology, 30years of your
    annual income was enough to mitigate most threats.

    There are still companies which do not take "internal risk" into
    account, and you are able to read about their consequences
    in the newspapers daily.

    The evaluator would at least have to specify where and/or what in the
    Security Target
    that he finds to be "Not clear, not understandable". And the developer
    is given a chance to
    take action against these claims.

    If the issue is not resolved at the end of the evaluation, then the
    verdict would be
    "fail" or "inconclusive".

    You would have to do some homework on the kind of product the PP or ST
    is about.
