The Security Target should be available and this would be a good
starting point as this should tell you how the system meets the
Protection Profile to which it conforms. As a little aside I wouldn't
hold that much faith in an CC evaluation to 'prove' that a system is
secure. CC is criticised for focusing to heavily on paper work and
process and little on actually uncovering vulnerabilities.
