In short
An information security policy is the top-level document stating top management's commitment to information security together with the principles binding the whole organisation. ISO 27001 clause 5.2 requires it to be established by top management, communicated to all personnel, and available to interested parties.
What This Document Is For
The information security policy is the document most often copied from the internet, and the quickest to be spotted as copied. The signs are always the same: it names an organisational structure that does not exist, refers to systems nobody uses, and carries the signature of someone who never read it.
This template is written as a frame, not a finished document. The parts you must supply yourself are clearly marked — scope, governance structure, and commitments you can genuinely meet. The rest provides language and structure auditors routinely accept, so your time goes into deciding what it says rather than how to phrase it.
What's Inside
Standards & Regulations It Helps Satisfy
| Standard / Regulation | Clause / Article | What this document covers |
|---|---|---|
| ISO/IEC 27001:2022 | Clause 5.2 | Establishment of the information security policy by top management. |
| ISO/IEC 27001:2022 | Control A.5.1 | Information security policy defined, reviewed, and communicated. |
| Law 27/2022 (PDP Law) | Controller obligations | The policy foundation for organisation-level personal data protection duties. |
This document helps satisfy the requirements above, but does not by itself make an organisation compliant. Compliance is judged on practice in operation, not on documents held.
Questions About This Document
How long should the policy be?
Three to six pages. An organisation-level policy states principles and responsibilities, not technical procedures. A thirty-page policy usually means procedures were written into it — and nobody reads it to the end.
Who has to sign it?
Top management: the managing director or an equivalent officer with genuine authority to allocate resources. An IT manager's signature does not satisfy clause 5.2, which exists precisely to secure commitment at the level that can decide a budget.
How often must it be reviewed?
At least annually, and whenever something significant changes — reorganisation, a major incident, regulatory change, or expanded certification scope. Record the review date; a policy with no review trail produces a finding.
Need guidance, not just a template?
A template speeds up producing the document. What decides whether an audit passes is whether its contents genuinely reflect how your organisation works — and that is what we support.
