The Leading Data Loss Prevention Solutions for 2025

Info-Tech Research Group has published its annual Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Data Quadrant Report, identifying the top six DLP solutions for the year. Based on end-user data from its SoftwareReviews platform, a leading source for insights on the software provider landscape, the report from the global IT research and advisory firm helps organizations evaluate the most effective DLP solutions to safeguard sensitive information, meet regulatory requirements, and reduce the risk of data breaches.

With cyber threats on the rise and compliance frameworks becoming more stringent, organizations are under pressure to invest in tools that go beyond basic protection. Info-Tech emphasizes that the most effective solutions are those that align with business goals, address current security challenges, and support long-term data governance strategies.

Info-Tech's Data Quadrant is a comprehensive evaluation tool that leverages peer feedback from IT professionals to rank software products across four core dimensions: likeliness to recommend, feature satisfaction, net emotional footprint score, and vendor capabilities. These dimensions are aggregated into a Composite Score (CS), which reflects overall user satisfaction and determines the product's placement within the Data Quadrant. The firm's methodology ensures that rankings are based entirely on authentic user reviews, free from analyst opinions or vendor influence.

Data from 759 end-user reviews on Info-Tech's SoftwareReviews platform was used to identify the top DLP providers for the 2025 DLP Data Quadrant Report. These insights are published to support IT and security leaders in evaluating DLP solutions that strengthen data protection, streamline compliance, and reduce the risk of breaches.

The 2025 Data Loss Prevention Data Quadrant Champions are as follows:

• Veeam Data Platform, 8.9 CS, ranked high for its encryption and decryption support.
• Acronis DLP, 8.6 CS, ranked high for its ease of administration.
• Zscaler DLP, 8.5 CS, ranked high for its ease of customization.
• Check Point Email Security, 8.4 CS, ranked high for its activity monitoring alerts.
• Safetica, 8.4 CS, ranked high for its optical character recognition feature.
• Microsoft Purview, 8.4 CS, ranked high for its data discovery feature.

"Data protection has become not only a technological imperative but also a core business priority, essential to maintaining trust, ensuring compliance, and protecting the interests of customers and stakeholders," says Peter Hristov, a principal advisory director at Info-Tech Research Group. "What sets the top-ranked DLP vendors apart is not only their ability to stop threats, but also their strength in areas like reporting, compliance support, and customer experience. These are factors that real users consistently rate as most impactful."

User assessments of software categories on SoftwareReviews provide an accurate and detailed view of the constantly changing market.
