Re: Pen Test and Sec Org

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.
