What the comparison says
Google Workspace DLP is SaaS only and nPro DLP is self-hosted. Where your obligations dictate residency, that difference tends to settle the choice before any score is read.
Google Workspace DLP licenses on workspace Enterprise tier, 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.
Google Workspace DLP leads on integrations. nPro DLP leads on residency, pricing value and channel coverage.
Google Workspace DLP
- +Included with Workspace Enterprise tiers at no additional licence cost.
- +Native coverage of Gmail, Drive and Chat with nothing to deploy.
- +Straightforward rules that a generalist administrator can manage.
- −Covers only Google Workspace. No endpoint, network or third-party SaaS coverage.
- −Inspection happens in Google's cloud with no residency alternative.
Best for Organisations whose sensitive data lives entirely inside Google Workspace.
Watch out Scope is the limitation, not the quality. Anything outside Workspace is invisible.
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.
