Don't allow the company to make excuses that hinder your growth. If they can't keep up with the other companies in your area/field, then you have no choice but to leave.
But, if they really are a good company, they will make these changes rapidly, as needed to keep good employees.
You also missed this point..

One of the appealing things about my current role is I have an opportunity to build something from the ground up. I wouldn't be qualified to do this type of niche within information security otherwise. The serious upside is that this role could potentially double my salary. However if the program doesn't take off then I could potentially waste quite a bit of time money (potential higher salary)
So it sounds like there is more than jsut higher wages elsewhere involved here. It sounds like a startup within a larger enterprise.
That kind of thing can be lucrative. Just like any other start up.
Something similar to this, but no quite. I have the opportunity to be the lead on something that SMBs would never have. Every enterprise and government organization has this area of information security though. It's somewhat less technical than what I've done in the past, but I'm starting to see a top out in the technical part of my career anyway.
I could have more money right now if I wanted because the demand is so high its ridiculous, but I don't think I'd have the opportunity to do what I am doing now somewhere else. If I can establish this area, it could potentially pay off huge.
It could potentially put me in the path of a C level position. There would be another step after this, but I wouldn't be far off.
