Five per cent “plead the fifth”

A Freedom of Information (FoI) request by ProLion has revealed that 17 (52 percent) of London’s borough councils do not have a cyber insurance policy in place to provide support in the event they suffer a cyber attack on their IT systems.

ProLion sent the FoI request to each of London’s 32 borough councils plus the City of London in December 2021. Five councils (17 percent) refused to say whether or not they have in place a cyber insurance policy, citing Section 31 of the Freedom of Information Act which exempts the disclosure of information that could ‘prejudice the prevention or detection of crime’.
