That was my point.  That's the reason I said
7. Get your bosses permission to "do some research", if needed. 
   (the if needed part is there in case he reports to the CIO)

8.  Present your findings to the highest person you can.
    Educate and scare them with sound, substantiated facts.
    At this point get your boss in the loop for buy in.
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Maybe had I said 
8.1 At this point get your boss in the loop for buy in to present
    your findings.

8.2 Present your findings to the highest person you can.
    Educate and scare them with sound, substantiated facts.
    At this point get your boss in the loop for buy in.

It would have been clearer to you.
