## The answer, as recorded

> ## The honest short answer
> 
> For remote teams, DLP divides into three buckets: **what you already own** (identity/suite-native), **SaaS-and-browser-layer DLP**, and **endpoint agents**. Most distributed teams need the first two and can skip the third. Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **1. Microsoft Purview DLP** - if you're a Microsoft 365 shop, start here and probably stop here. It's the only major option with transparent pricing (~$12/user/mo for the Purview Suite; bundled into E5 at ~$57/user/mo), and it covers email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and endpoints natively. As of late 2026 it also extends policies to Google Workspace, Box, Dropbox, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and AWS via connectors - though the available actions on those external platforms are meaningfully weaker than on Microsoft-native data, so don't assume parity.

> 
> **2. Nightfall AI** - my top pick for SaaS-first remote teams that aren't Microsoft-centric. API-based deployment (no agent to push to laptops you may not fully control), ML detect
