Sachverständigenbüro Mülot

What Sachverständigenbüro Mülot does

Sachverständigenbüro Mülot GmbH is a German compliance consultancy founded in 1999 by Dirk-Michael Mülot and headquartered in Greven, Germany. The firm specializes in external Data Protection Officer (eDSB) and external Information Security Officer (eISB) services, supporting organizations with compliance under GDPR (DSGVO), BDSG, LDSG, and ecclesiastical frameworks (KDG, EKD). It serves diverse verticals including healthcare, legal and accounting firms, automotive, sports associations (notably a ~20-year partnership with Führungs-Akademie des DOSB), Caritas and religious institutions, and KRITIS operators.

The company's product portfolio centers on two proprietary software platforms — VVT-Easy (a Record of Processing Activities database with 80-100 industry templates) and VVT-Online (a multi-tenant Data Protection Management System) — both hosted on the münsterland.cloud data center operated by sister company mit.data GmbH. Complementary offerings include a GDPR-compliant video conferencing solution, modular e-learning (€2.50-€3.50 per employee), DSMS document packages, awareness materials, and a whistleblower protection hotline. The firm operates within an integrated Unternehmensverbund with WiR Solutions GmbH (IT/digitization) and mit.data GmbH (hosting), enabling a vertically integrated compliance + IT + infrastructure stack.

Revenue is generated through five streams: professional consulting on a time-and-materials basis, software licensing with recurring maintenance fees, e-learning subscriptions, document package one-time sales, and physical awareness product sales. The firm is BAFA-certified, making consulting engagements eligible for German government subsidies. Leadership transitioned from founder Dirk-Michael Mülot to managing director Claus Wissing, while the founder remains active as a freelance auditor. The company is privately held with no external funding and operates exclusively in Germany.
