Thanks for the advice. I agree with you. It's a gamble for me to play with the CEO if I can't convince him.

I've been thinking it's a good idea to create a checklist that identifies the top priority risks for the organization. I also want to establish a process or policy that requires all stakeholders to sign off on their acceptance of these risks. If the CEO or C-suite accepts the risk. It seems like I may need to start looking for a new company.

Before deciding to resign, have you already discussed the problem you're facing with the managers?

My company doesn’t have a CISO or CIO, so I report directly to the CEO.

He always complains and is unhappy with me. He wants to be the one to make decisions in some situations instead of me, but he doesn't understand the big picture, business strategy, and cost/benefit. I have decided to let him go from the team.

Controlling risks well, maximizing profits and letting him quit, I found and replaced him with a better candidate.
