You need more than that - you need a cage made of mu-metal because the EM signal has a magnetic component which also needs to be blocked, in addition to the electrical component.

If you really have it fully wrapped in conductive foil so that you have a true Faraday cage (i.e., an electrostatic shield), the currents induced on the inner surface of that shield by the magnetic field cancel it out.
