Answer:
High level polices are documents intended to be used by all organization, while low level policies, most known as operational policies, are intended to be used by specific areas or processes.
So, an ISMS generally has one Information Security Policy, providing high level guidance on how to implement and manage information security as a whole, and several security policies for different aspects of operation, like the Access Control Policy, Backup Policy, Development Policy, etc. Legal requirements your organization must comply with and the results of risk assessment are the bases to identify which polices you need to implement.
