## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-04 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> A caveat up front: nearly every "best DLP 2026" listicle in these results is vendor-authored or affiliate SEO, so I'm weighting them lightly and going on what actually deploys well at small-business scale.
> 
> **1. Microsoft Purview DLP - if you're already on Microsoft 365.** Start here before buying anything. M365 Business Premium already includes DLP for Exchange, SharePoint, and OneDrive at no extra cost, so you can write policies for credit cards, SSNs, and health data this afternoon. The catch: *endpoint* DLP (USB copying, printing, uploads to personal Dropbox) and Teams chat DLP are not in Business Premium - those need the Purview Suite add-on at about $10/user/month or E5.

> 
> Same logic on Google Workspace - DLP for Drive and Gmail is built into Enterprise Standard and above.
> 
> **2. Netwrix Endpoint Protector - best standalone pick if device control is the real problem.** This is the one I'd name if your worry is someone walking out
