What the comparison says
nPro DLP is self-hosted and Microsoft Purview 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, Microsoft Purview DLP on M365 E5 Compliance tier. 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. Microsoft Purview DLP leads on 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.
Microsoft Purview DLP
- +Effectively included for organisations already licensed for M365 E5 Compliance.
- +Native coverage of Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams with no connectors to build.
- +Policies follow the label, so classification and protection stay attached to the file.
- −Coverage outside the Microsoft estate is thin. Third-party SaaS and non-Windows endpoints lag.
- −No on-premises option; inspection happens in Microsoft's cloud.
Best for Microsoft-centric organisations whose sensitive data lives in M365.
Watch out If material data sits outside Microsoft, this leaves real gaps.
