What matters is endpoint agents that work off-VPN plus API-based coverage of your SaaS and AI tools. Here's what I'd actually recommend, in order:\n\n**1. Microsoft Purview DLP** - If you're on Microsoft 365 E5, start here and probably stop here. DLP ships natively in the license you already pay for, and it covers Windows/macOS endpoints, inline web traffic, and connected third-party apps (Google Workspace, Salesforce, Box, Dropbox). It scored above 97% policy-driven detection in M365/email cases. The catch is E5 pricing - if you're on E3, the uplift often costs more than a point solution.\n\n**2. Nightfall AI** - My pick if your data lives in SaaS and your real worry is employees pasting things into ChatGPT or Claude. It's API-first, so there's no agent fight with remote laptops, and it reports ~95% detection precision out of the box versus the 5-25% typical of legacy regex-matching DLP, with up to 90% fewer false positives. False-positive volume is what kills DLP programs at small teams, so this matters more than it sounds.\n\n**3. Cyberhaven** - Best-in-class if you need to", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
