Here's who I'd actually name, in order:\n\n**1. Microsoft Purview DLP** - If you're on Microsoft 365/Entra (most remote teams are), start here before buying anything. It's bundled into E5 (or available as an E3 add-on), covers Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, plus endpoint and browser agents, and it's policy-driven from the same admin plane as your identity. The well-documented weakness: coverage gets patchy outside Microsoft's own ecosystem - non-Microsoft SaaS, odd file formats, cross-platform workflows often need supplements.

Netskope** - My pick if your risk is SaaS and web, which for a distributed team it usually is. It's CASB/SSE-led, so the inspection happens in a cloud proxy rather than depending on a corporate network, and it's the most credible option for shadow-SaaS discovery and i", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
