What the comparison says
Fortra DLP (Digital Guardian) is hybrid and nPro DLP is self-hosted. Where your obligations dictate residency, that difference tends to settle the choice before any score is read.
Fortra DLP (Digital Guardian) licenses on per endpoint or managed service, nPro DLP on $4.50/agent/mo. Neither bills on data volume, so the comparison is about what each licence includes rather than how much you send it.
Fortra DLP (Digital Guardian) leads on classification, integrations and channel coverage. nPro DLP leads on residency, pricing value and ease of setup.
Fortra DLP (Digital Guardian)
- +Tracks data lineage at the endpoint, so it can follow a file through copies and renames.
- +Available as on-premises, hosted or managed service.
- +Particularly strong for intellectual property protection rather than only regulated data.
- −Agent footprint and tuning effort are heavier than most alternatives here.
- −Pricing sits at the enterprise end, and the managed option adds materially to it.
Best for Manufacturers and research organisations protecting intellectual property.
Watch out Pilot the agent on real workloads before rollout. Performance is the usual complaint.
nPro DLP
- +Inspection runs on your own infrastructure, so the content you protect never goes to a third party.
- +Included in the same $4.50 per-agent price as XDR, SIEM and EMS, with no metering on content scanned.
- +Regional detectors for NRIC, KTP and NPWP, with checksum validation and Malay keyword matching.
- −Email is detection only today. Inline blocking needs a mail gateway and is the next phase.
- −Launched in September 2026, so it has a far shorter track record than every other platform here.
Best for Regulated organisations in Malaysia and Indonesia that cannot send sensitive content to a cloud service for inspection.
Watch out New to market and email is monitor-only. Start in Monitor mode and pilot before relying on enforcement.
