Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in order:\n\n**1. Microsoft Purview DLP** - If your team is already on Microsoft 365/Entra, start here and probably stop here. It's bundled into E5 (or available as an add-on), covers endpoint, Exchange, Teams, SharePoint/OneDrive, and now has decent controls for data pasted into AI tools. Marginal cost is often near zero, and it works off-network since policy travels with the device and the identity. Weak spot: coverage outside the Microsoft estate is thin.\n\n**2. Google Workspace DLP (with Chrome Enterprise Premium)** - The mirror-image answer if you're a Google shop. Chrome Enterprise Premium is genuinely underrated for remote teams: it enforces at the browser, which is where most remote work actually happens, including on BYOD machines you can't put an agent on.\n\n**3. Nightfall AI** - Best fit for a cloud-native company (startup through mid-market) with no appetite for a DLP admin team.
