Here's the order I'd actually go in.\n\n**1. Microsoft Purview DLP (via Microsoft 365 Business Premium)** - The default for most small businesses, because you likely already have it. Business Premium includes DLP for Exchange Online, SharePoint, and OneDrive plus manual sensitivity labels at no extra cost.
