Answer: In general the Company Director (or the highest position in the company) signs the high level policies (those policies that have overall impact through the organization, like the Quality Management Policy and the Information Security Policy), while other directors or managers sign the remaining policies (known as low level or second level policies), according to their scope (e.g., IT director signs the Password and Backup policies, and the Purchase manager sings the Supplier Management Policy).
