That's not specific to e-Tughra though, that's standard for CAs where what
gets audited is all the fancy security mechanisms around the CA's private
key(s) and what barely, or not at all, gets audited is the various RAs that
pull the CA's strings.

Years ago I saw a cartoon lampooning a certain country's defence policy which
had lifeguard-style flags set up on a piece of open ground and a sign between
them saying "Please attack between the flags".  With CA's it'd be "please
audit between the flags".

Not defending or criticising e-Tughra, just pointing out that this isn't their
fault, it's How CAs Are Done.
