The manager is responsible for making significant decisions on what his section does: its purpose, functions and role, and for making commitments and decisions that require the expenditure of significant section resources. In addition, the manager has a significant, external focus to surrounding circumstances and the world outside the section. Whereas the supervisor has a more internal focused responsibility for implementing the manager’s decisions through the work of subordinate employees. Once a decision is made on what to do, supervisor has a significant role in deciding how to do it; how to achieve the objective established by the manager.

Firstly, it depends on the structure of the organisation itself, and the job description of the position in, but if we considered the normal model the difference will be as follows: The Security Manager main role is to set the strategy of work, assure its implementation, and the process. The Security Supervisor is more involved in way of implement the process and polices, and responsible for supervise the employees whose are required to make the security operations and the technical issues.

The Security Manager is the overall in-charge in Security Operations. He plans, formulates, issues policies and monitors compliance to all Security directive and is reporting directly to top management while the Security Supervisor implementations and supervise compliance to the security policies and directives and is directly answerable to the Security Manager.
