I am working on benchmarking the role of information security in the IT organization. If your company has at least one employee dedicated to information security, please respond to the following:

a. Approximately how many people are dedicated to security?

b. Approximately how many people are in the overall IT organization?

c. Where in the organization does security report (IT, Internal Audit, Risk Management)?

d. What is your industry?

Thanks in advance to anyone who responds!

I am a member of NT Security in my company
that comprises five individuals. I estimate that
all platforms comprise 50 individuals with
Security as their daily work. There are many
more that deal with password resets, but for
having Security as a main work plan, this is
my best estimate. This includes Internal
Controls that Audits Security for the entire
company.

I estimate we have at least 3,000 people
directly supporting IT Operations.

Security reports to the individual platforms, but
has oversight by Internal Controls.

Retail (Can't be more specific)

Hope this helps answer some questions. I
could not be more specific due to restricted
information....
