## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-18 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For a small business, the honest first move is usually "use what you already pay for" before buying a dedicated DLP product. Here's what I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **1. Microsoft Purview DLP - if you're a Microsoft 365 shop**
> Basic DLP for Exchange Online, SharePoint, and OneDrive is already in Microsoft 365 Business Premium, so the marginal cost is zero. Turn on the built-in policy templates (credit card, SSN, health data) and you've covered the most common leak path - email - in an afternoon. If you need endpoint DLP, auto-labeling, or insider risk management, there's now a dedicated **Purview Suite for Business Premium** add-on at ~$10/user/month, which is still cheaper than most standalone tools.
> 
> **2. Google Workspace DLP - if you're a Google shop, with a caveat**
> It's genuinely good for Drive and Gmail, but it is *not* in Business Starter/Standard/Plus. You have to be on Enterprise Standard or above (or Frontline Standard / Enterprise Essentials Plus). That upgrade is a real jump in per-seat cost, so price it out before assuming this is the cheap path - if the jump is steep, a third-party tool bolted onto your existing plan often wins.
> 
> **3. Safetica - best standalone pick
