CEO at my last company refused any security access he didn't strictly require. He'd just laugh, "Yeah, no, don't even want that."

In my IT experience, it's the department heads, or people an outsider thinks is important, that get spear phished. Job before last, the HR woman got overrun with attacks. LOL, she was the most useless, clueless person in the company but she sounded important on paper. Director of Human Resources. She had two people under her in a 35 employee outfit.
