What the comparison says
nPro DLP is self-hosted and Proofpoint DLP is SaaS only. Where your obligations dictate residency, that difference tends to settle the choice before any score is read.
nPro DLP licenses on $4.50/agent/mo, Proofpoint DLP on per user. Neither bills on data volume, so the comparison is about what each licence includes rather than how much you send it.
nPro DLP leads on residency, pricing value and ease of setup. Proofpoint DLP leads on classification and integrations.
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.
Proofpoint DLP
- +Strongest email channel coverage in this table, which is where most leaks actually occur.
- +Insider threat management correlates user behaviour with data movement.
- +Good balance of detection quality and operational simplicity.
- −Primarily cloud-delivered. On-premises options are limited.
- −Coverage of data at rest in on-premises storage is thinner than the incumbents.
Best for Organisations whose primary data loss channel is email and user behaviour.
Watch out If you need endpoint and storage DLP as well, this is only part of the picture.
