## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-30 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 how I'd rank them:
> 
> **1. Microsoft Purview DLP (if you're on Microsoft 365 Business Premium)**
> Already included - no new vendor, no new agent. You get DLP policies across Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams plus sensitivity labels and encryption, roughly at Office 365 E3 parity. That covers the most common real-world leak paths (someone emailing a customer list, sharing a folder too broadly). Advanced DLP, insider risk management, and endpoint-heavy features need the Purview Suite add-on at ~$10/user/month. Start here; only look further if it genuinely doesn't cover you.
> 
> **2. Safetica** - the best true SMB pick if you need a dedicated tool
> Purpose-built for small and mid-size companies: quick setup, readable policies, and insider-risk visibility (who's touching what) without a full-time admin. It consistently outrates its peers on value-for-money and likelihood-to-renew. Caveat: no Linux agent.
> 
> **3. Netwrix Endpoint Protector (formerly CoSoSys)** - pick this over Safetica if you have mixed OS or USB/device worries
> Strongest device-level control
