Do. Not. Full. Rewrite. It would be absolute suicide and almost certainly fail. Just put that option out of your head.
1. Complete a risk assessment. List all the security, business, availability, liability, productivity, and other risks and prioritize them. Estimate the real world impact and probability of the risks, describe examples from the real world.
2. Estimate the work to mitigate each risk. Estimate multiple mitigation options (people are more likely to agree to the least bad of multiple options).
3. Negotiate with leadership to begin solving the highest risk, lowest effort issues.
But before you begin all that, focus on the psychology of leadership. Change is scary, and from their perspective, unnecessary. The way you describe each risk and its mitigation will determine whether it is seen as a threat or an exciting opportunity. You will want allies to advocate for you.
If all of that seems like too much work, then you should probably either quit, or just try to make small performance improvements to put on your resume.
