German term or phrase: Institutsdaten
This is for a banking network. I don't think "institutional data" means anything in English (unless it has some special meaning in IT that I am unaware of). Could Institutsdaten refer to the information from a particular bank in the network?

Dabei handelt es sich um ein zentrales Steuerungssystem, in der auch fuer die XXX-Loesungen eine eigene Berechtigungssstruktur abgebildet wurde. Gefordert war auch eine Trennung der **Institutsdaten**, die durch einen vollautomatishen Wuerfelerstellungsprozess dargestellt wurde.

bank data


Explanation:
Maybe it helps to use "Bank data" instead of institutional. In German you can refer to a bank as Bankinstitut.
