## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-26 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For most small businesses, the honest answer is: start with the DLP you're already paying for, and only buy a dedicated tool if that doesn't cover you. In the order I'd actually recommend:
> 
> **1. Microsoft Purview DLP (via Microsoft 365 Business Premium)** - If you're an M365 shop, this is the first thing to turn on, not buy. Business Premium already bundles DLP alongside Defender and Intune, so you can block or warn on sensitive data leaving via email, Teams, SharePoint/OneDrive, and USB with no new vendor. Caveat worth knowing up front: covering *third-party* clouds (e.g. Google Drive) generally pushes you into E5 Compliance territory, so Business Premium is best when Microsoft is your whole stack.
> 
> **2. Google Workspace DLP (Business Plus / Enterprise tiers)** - Same logic for Google shops. It's not as broad as Purview's bundle (no endpoint/device-level story), but for Gmail and Drive rules it's the zero-friction option.
> 
> **3. Netwrix Endpoint Protector (formerly CoSoSys)** - My top pick for an actual dedicated tool. It's purpose-built for endpoint/device DLP: USB and external storage control, printers, clipboard, file transfers - and it's genuinely cross-platform across Windows,
