I do wonder if the workplace safety/health and safety approach can be used here to good effect - even if your company's activities are nothing to do with safety, your workplace has to, by law, be safe, and company officers are responsible legally.

The common message I hear about security is "it's not part of our core business". Safety was made (at least in some countries) to be part of your core business, as an unavoidable obligation. Nobody can use lack of information, capability, skill or awareness as a get-out for poor safety practices - you just have to do better. If we had the same with security, it might get the attentino of the board and its members.
