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
Safetica
- +Straightforward to deploy and operate with a small team
- +On-premises deployment available alongside the cloud option
- +Priced accessibly for organisations below enterprise scale
- −Detection depth and policy sophistication trail the enterprise platforms
- −Smaller partner and support footprint outside Europe
Best for SMBs wanting workable data protection without a dedicated security team
Watch out Verify regional support coverage before committing if you are outside Europe
