I would say neither of your proposals is OK. DP has overtaken what was a
nice fit under the 84 Act between IT and Data protection. So the spectrum is
wider and you should not expect IT people (without diversifying from their
core activities) to cover DP.
Security is associated more withy physical security than DP.
I think you need a job spec. where the person understands the processes, the
data, and the offices/people involved.
Hmmm, I probably have told you what you don't want but I have not told you
what you do want.
