Here's who I'd name, in order:\n\n**1. Microsoft Purview DLP** - If you're already on Microsoft 365, start here before buying anything. It's native, no extra agent, and covers Exchange/SharePoint/OneDrive plus endpoints and Teams. The catch is licensing: E3 only covers Exchange + SharePoint; you need E5 or the **E5 Compliance add-on (~$12/user/mo on top of E3)** to get endpoint and Teams DLP. Weak once data leaves the Microsoft boundary. ([licensing guidance](https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/guidance/Microsoft-Purview), [breakdown](https://revealcompliance.com/blog/microsoft-purview-licensing))\n\n**2. Nightfall AI** - My default pick for a cloud-native remote team that isn't Microsoft-centric. API-based, so it deploys in days across Slack, Google Drive, GitHub, Jira, email, plus endpoints and GenAI apps - no network appliance, which is the whole point when there's no perimeter. Strong ML detection rather than regex-only.
