I think that this really has to do with what is driving the security
need in the organization. In my case there is a great regulatory need,
that is why this office is the authority for the organization. If you
were a hosting provider, then there would be more of an IT Security
need because the majority of the security functions performed are at
the technical level.
There is no real wrong way to do this; just determine who the
stakeholders are, and call a meeting.
