One problem with tiger teams that I have difficulty getting through to clients on is that a tiger teams can not prove that the system is trustworthy. It can uncover holes in the security model, (when I do tiger team work, I get full details of the firewall/security installation), show that things aren't working as expected, but it doesn't prove that things are secure.
