1. How many laptops, mobile, tablet or USB devices have been lost or stolen from your organisation in the past year (Sept 2021-Sept 2022)? Please specify numbers of each device type.
2. How many of these devices were encrypted? Please specify numbers of each device type.
3. Have you had to disclose or inform the ICO of a data breach as a result of any of these devices being lost or stolen in the past year (Sept 2021-Sept 2022)?
4. Have you had to disclose or inform the ICO of a data breach for any other reason e.g., cloud breach, supply chain breach...
5. How many data breaches (information has been lost, stolen or taken from a system without the knowledge or authorisation of the department/organisation) have you experienced within your organisation (department) within the past year (Sept 2021-Sept 2022)?
6. Do you have an existing cyber insurance policy in place, and how long have you had it? If not, do you plan to invest in cyber insurance in the coming year?
7. Have you had to claim on an existing cyber insurance policy in the past year (Sept 2021-Sept 2022) - if so, what was the reason for this i.e. ransomware attack, phishing scam...

Dear Alicia Broadest
Freedom of Information Act 2000
I am writing to ask you to clarify your request. This is because we are
not certain that we have understood your request correctly. Therefore I
should be grateful if you would please clarify for question 5:
5. How many data breaches (information has been lost, stolen or taken from
a system without the knowledge or authorisation of the department /
organisation) have you experienced within your organisation (department)
within the past year (Sept 2021-Sept 2022)?
if you are asking for the number of all reported data breaches or only the
number of all reported data breaches where information has been 'lost,
stolen or taken from a system'? Please also clarify if you are requesting
this information for one specific department or for the whole of
Warwickshire County Council?
I will not be able to take this matter further without this extra
information from you. Please let me know by 05/01/2023.
If I do not hear from you within the timeframe provided, I shall take it
that you do not wish to pursue this request and will consider the request
closed.
