Hi, Tony!

I suggest you to start from defining roles and assigning them to
personnel. It is a good practice for security incidents to form ad-hoc
team, which should include IT/helpdesk specialist for technical work
and some one from management, who has enough power for administrative
actions. Later you can allocate a dedicated persons for a roles. For
strategic IT security initiatives you might want to form a security
committee (board) in the company.
