Security Organisation & Role Design
Practical guidance on how to structure security responsibility as you grow — who owns what between IT, a future in-house hire and us, clear job descriptions, and a sensible sequence for building an internal team.
The advantage
A structure that fits where you are today and scales as you grow — instead of overhiring too early or leaving security ownership ambiguous until an incident forces the question.
Benefits
- Prevents ambiguous ownership — the top cause of security gaps in growing SMEs
- Sequenced hiring plan avoids overspending on headcount too early
- Clear job descriptions speed up recruitment when the time comes
- Defines a sensible handoff path from consultancy to in-house team
Considerations
- Recommendations depend on growth assumptions that can change
- Implementation (actual hiring) is a separate, longer-term effort
- Org design alone doesn’t fix capability gaps — training/hiring still needed
