The Risk Executive (or Risk Executive Function) is a senior-level individual or group within an organization responsible for providing an enterprise-wide perspective on risk management. The AO consults with the CISO and the Risk Executive to ensure that risk decisions align with organizational priorities and risk tolerance, especially regarding ongoing risk determination and acceptance.

A directive is an instruction or order; the AO would consult with a person or group for expertise, not a directive itself.

A regulation is a rule or law; while important for context, the AO consults people for risk determination, not the regulation directly.

A policy is a set of rules or principles; similar to regulations and directives, the AO consults with individuals who interpret and apply policies, not the policy document itself.
