In an ideal world, the Privacy team would have a direct line to the CEO, strong ties with Legal and InfoSec, and collaborative relationships across the organization.
What's crucial, regardless of where Privacy reports, is that it has the authority, resources, and visibility to effectively champion privacy across the organization. It needs to be a strategic partner, not just a compliance checkbox.
In the end, the reporting structure is less important than the culture around privacy. If privacy is seen as everyone's responsibility, supported from the top down, and integrated into all aspects of the business, that's the real win – regardless of where it sits on the org chart.
