What am I missing? Risk acceptance is what you’re referring to - risk creation and reward creation.

Sec lead might have a pretty darn clear idea of an out of whack creation of risk v reward. CEO disagrees. Risk accept and move on.

When you’re technical and eventually realize there’s a business to survive behind the tech skills, this is the stuff you learn how to do.

People “will know” as you say because it’s all documented and professionally escalated.
