ISO 27001:2022 5.1: Policies for information security
Write, approve and publish a top-level security policy plus topic-specific policies, and review them on a set cadence and after major change.
What else in your programme already covers this
This control maps to 191 controls across 40 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

You are reading one control. How much of ISO 27001:2022 have you already done?
ISO 27001:2022 5.1 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of ISO 27001:2022 your existing evidence covers. Hold NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and 79 of 93 ISO 27001:2022 controls already carry evidence.
Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 170 were rejected on the NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 pair alone.
