Revision

German to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
From an Austrian text about information security:

Die Revision agiert entsprechend ihres Auftrages in der XXX Gruppe auch in bezug auf Sicherheit als eigenständige Prüfungsinstanz und prüft gegen Sicherheitspolitik, Sicherheitsstandards und der darauf definierten Richtlinien.

Is this the auditing department? I'm not sure whether it's an internal department or an external agency - any suggestions welcome.

Selected

auditing department

However; I think "Die Revisionsabteilung" is the intent

I think an external element/agency would be \"Die Prüfungstelle\"

internal audit or (external) auditors

If it isn't mentioned in the text there is no way to tell for sure but I would tend to internal the way they are described in this sentence
