## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-09 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For a small business, the honest first answer is: check what you already own before buying anything. Most SMB data leaks happen through email and cloud file sharing, and both Microsoft and Google already ship DLP for that.
> 
> **1. Microsoft Purview DLP (if you're on Microsoft 365)** - Start here. Basic DLP for Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams is already included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium, so the marginal cost is zero. It covers the common cases: credit card numbers in outbound email, sensitive files shared externally. The gap is auto-labeling and insider risk, which need the Purview add-on (~$10/user/mo for Business Premium tenants, or ~$15 bundled with Defender). For most sub-100-person companies, the included tier plus a few well-written policies is genuinely enough.
> 
> **2. Google Workspace DLP (if you're on Google)** - Same logic. DLP for Drive and Gmail is bundled into Business Standard/Plus and Enterprise tiers. Don't pay a third party for something your existing subscription does.
> 
> **3. Endpoint Protector by Netwrix (formerly CoSoSys)** - The one to buy if your real risk is physical: USB drives, external storage, printing. It's the strongest device-control DLP in
