You don't need to mandate the solution, just punish the negative outcomes. As long as Experian and their peers can get away with dumping gigabytes of data without any punishment, they will. Apply a generous fine to any data breach or an incident resulting in monetary loss incurred due to bad software, and you'll see things change.

Has there been empirical estimates of the true cost of damage caused by the Experian incident?
If a major company got liquidated for extreme negligence, even once in a while, security would be much more in the forefront of executive's minds.
