Apropos Atropos' appropriate post, 2 further interesting quotes
(source: http://www.aph.gov.au/house/committee/jpaa/electronic_info/chapter7.pdf )
"7.11 When an evaluation is carried out on a purely commercial basis, DSD charges the company a Certification Fee. That fee is determined from a scale of fees, which increase in line with the level of security assurance required. If the applicant has the written support of a Commonwealth sponsor, however, DSD waives its fee and therefore absorbs the cost".
"7.13 The AISEP provides a number of benefits to sponsors, developers and users. Certification under the system:
* gives users a level of assurance that the product will meet a determined level of security needs and comply with internationally recognised criteria;
* allows the product to be used within the Australian and New Zealand governments;
* allows Mutual Recognition by other members of the CCRA;
* gives an opportunity to developers to improve security features in line with customer requests;
* reduces or eliminates the need for further internal security testing....... " (continues)

And for very general interest, there's a good overview piece "Defence plans IT shake up" last week - see http://www.australianit.news.com.au/story/0,24897,24278040-5013040,00.html
