What mip does

mip Consult GmbH is a Berlin-based IT consultancy founded in 2003 that delivers three interconnected service pillars to mid-market and enterprise organizations, primarily in the DACH region: Datenschutz (data protection, including external data protection officer representation, audits, training, and 24/7 breach response), Informationssicherheit (information security, including NIS-2 compliance, WebScan™ external and VA-Scan internal vulnerability scanning, risk analysis, gap assessments, and emergency management), and Softwareentwicklung & IT-Beratung (custom software development, IT strategy, IREB-standard requirements engineering, DevOps, system integration via APIs, and CRM systems).

The firm operates without proprietary platform technology; its offering is structured around consulting expertise, with WebScan™ and VA-Scan positioned as branded scanning services rather than licensed software products, and software delivery embedded into client IT landscapes through API-level integration. The firm holds ISO 9001 (quality management), TÜV-certified expert designations, GDD and BvD association seals, and a Cloud Services certification, and has reported 130+ active customers and project activity across more than 15 countries across banking, automotive, manufacturing, healthcare, energy, public transport, and technology sectors (logos include BNP Paribas, M&G, Suzuki, BVG, ENGIE, NEC Deutschland, Profine GmbH, Scheu-Dental).

Commercial mechanics are quote-based, project-scoped, and multi-year; the firm is founder-owned and bootstrapped under the leadership of CEO Asmus Eggert alongside managing directors Vera Schmidt and Uwe Leider, with a second office in Poland to support cross-border engagements. Distribution is direct B2B via website, phone, LinkedIn, and thought-leadership publications in Springer, IT-Business, and Datacenter-Insider; there is no disclosed revenue, no external funding, and no M&A activity in the source material.
