Answer: According ISO 27001, the Information Security Policy must include:
- the information security objectives, or how the objectives are proposed, how they are approved, and how they are reviewed
- a statement of top management about its commitment to fulfill the requirements of all interested parties, and to continually improve the ISMS

There is no need to include specific controls in the Information Security Policy. If you need to describe details about the application of one or more controls you should consider writing them in a specific policy (e.g., Access control policy, backup policy, etc.).
