## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-15 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For a small business, the honest first move is usually "turn on what you already pay for," then buy a dedicated tool only if that leaves a real gap. In the order I'd actually go:
> 
> **1. Microsoft Purview DLP (if you're on Microsoft 365)**
> Business Premium already includes baseline DLP for Exchange Online, SharePoint, and OneDrive - so policies like "block credit card numbers leaving via email" cost you nothing extra. The catch: **Endpoint DLP** (USB drives, copy/paste, local file uploads) is not in Business Premium; it's an E5 feature, though Microsoft added a Business Premium "Information Protection & DLP" add-on in late 2025 that includes it, capped at 300 users. Start here, and you may never need anything else.
> 
> **2. Google Workspace DLP (if you're on Google)**
> Weaker story for SMBs: DLP for Drive and Gmail is an **Enterprise-tier** feature. Business Standard/Plus don't get it. If you're on Business Plus, compare the cost of jumping to Enterprise against just buying a third-party SaaS DLP - the third-party route is often cheaper at small headcounts.
> 
> **3. Nightfall AI - best if your data lives in SaaS and you're not Microsoft-centric**
> Cloud-native, API-based scanning across Slac
