The information security department should formally report to a leader outside of the IT chain of command because:
Information Security requires a separate budget from Information Technology.
Information Security and Information Technology are not closely related.
It places information security above IT on the Organizational Chart, indicating its importance.
It is unable to function effectively when it reports to those it is charged with regulating.
The information security manager, much like an internal audit group, requires independence to perform their job function properly. Reporting to those that the information security manager is meant to oversee creates a conflict of interest that can be resolved by having the information security manager report to a member of management outside of IT leadership.
