## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-07 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> # DLP for small businesses - what I'd actually recommend
> 
> The honest starting point: **check what you already own before buying anything.** Most small businesses are on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, and both include real DLP. Buying a third-party tool when you already pay for one is the most common waste here.
> 
> **1. Microsoft Purview DLP (via Microsoft 365 Business Premium) - start here if you're a Microsoft shop**
> Business Premium already includes basic DLP for Exchange Online, SharePoint, and OneDrive plus manual sensitivity labels, at no extra cost. That covers the realistic small-business threat: someone emailing a spreadsheet of customer records outside the company. Caveat worth knowing - **endpoint** DLP (blocking USB copies, uploads from laptops) and auto-labeling are *not* included; they need the Purview Suite add-on.

> 
> **2. Google Workspace DLP - the equivalent if you're on Google**
> Included in Business Standard/Plus and above for Driv
