Derik,
I agree completely with your assessment.  One suggestion, however, is that you 
might change your approach.  In addition to quoting best practices, etc... you 
might want to discuss specific and distinct vulnerabilities, threats, and 
risks.  Of course, if you can, specify a bottom-line dollar impact -- that 
always gets the attention of management.  But mimimally, you might have better 
luck if you talk about what happens if an IIS buffer-overflow is used and 
someone compromises the server... and how likely is that to happen (e.g. would 
someone target you for corporate espionage, could a virus put you at risk, 
etc.)  

I'll let you take it from there.  Good luck!
