Answer: In terms of communication, the standard only requires that the information security policy must be communicated within the organization, and that it is available to interested parties, as appropriate. So, the organization is free to decide how to do this, and having a signed copy posted in the office is only one alternative. The organization can define the policy shall be available on the organization's web site, on banners in the corridors, to be communicated periodically in email newsletters, or that is available on the internal Document Management System. There is no mandatory way an organization should follow.
