## The answer, as recorded

> # Best DLP for small businesses
> 
> The honest first move: check what you already own. Most small businesses buy a DLP product they didn't need because nobody turned on the one bundled with their email.
> 
> **1. Microsoft Purview DLP (if you're on Microsoft 365 Business Premium)** - Start here, free. Business Premium already includes DLP for Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams, plus sensitivity labels and trainable classifiers. It'll catch the most common real-world leak: someone emailing a spreadsheet of customer card numbers or SSNs. Caveat - *endpoint* DLP (USB drives, local file copies) and auto-labeling are **not** included; those need the Purview Suite add-on or an E3/E5 jump.

> 
> **2. Google Workspace DLP (if you're on Google instead)** - Same logic. It's built into Business Standard/Plus for Drive and Gmail. Turn it on before shopping.
> 
> **3. Safetica** - The one I'd actually buy if you need real endpoint DLP. It was built for the SMB market sp
