## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-24 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## The honest headline first
> 
> For most small businesses, the best DLP is the one already bundled with your email/file platform. Buying a standalone DLP tool before you've turned on what you're paying for is the most common waste of money in this category. So here's my order:
> 
> **1. Microsoft Purview DLP (if you're on Microsoft 365)** - Start here. Business Premium already includes basic DLP for Exchange Online, SharePoint, and OneDrive plus manual sensitivity labels, at no extra cost. If you need endpoint DLP (USB drives, copy/paste, printing), auto-labeling, or insider risk management, the Purview Suite add-on for Business Premium runs about $10/user/month - Microsoft prices it as ~47% cheaper than buying the pieces separately. Cheapest real path to decent coverage if you're already Microsoft-shop.
> 
> **2. Google Workspace DLP (if you're on Google)** - Covers Drive, Gmail, and Chat with one unified rule engine and investigation console (Gmail DLP went generally available in Feb 2025). The catch: it requires **Enterprise Standard or Enterprise Plus**. Business Standard/Plus don't have it, so budget for the upgrade and compare that delta against option 3 or 4.
