Safetica DLP in 2026: What the Standard, Premium, and Enterprise Tiers Include, What AI Protection Covers, and Where the Price Goes

Direct answer: Safetica is a per-user endpoint DLP and insider-risk platform with published starting prices of $72, $96, and $144 per user per year across its Standard, Premium, and Enterprise cloud tiers, and AI protection for ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot in every tier. Its catch is in the fine print: AI data classification is Premium and above, SIEM integration is Premium and above, and the ability to tell a personal AI account from a business one is marked "coming in Q4 2026." dope.security covers both today, in the base product, with LLM classification and on-device tenant control for every AI tool, not three.

Safetica, the Czech-founded data-protection vendor, has built a loyal mid-market base by doing something most DLP vendors refuse to do: putting prices on a web page. That alone makes it worth a serious look for a 250 to 5,000 employee company that is tired of "contact sales." This post reads Safetica's own pricing page and AI Protection page as published on November 6, 2026, explains what each tier does and does not include, and then sets it against the on-device approach we described in our 2026 comparison of twelve DLP tools. Where we go beyond Safetica's documentation we say so.

The honest summary is that Safetica is a competent, fairly priced endpoint DLP with good AI-tool awareness, and that the two things a 2026 buyer most needs, meaning-based classification and personal-versus-corporate AI control, are either upsold or not yet shipped.

What Safetica is, and who buys it

Safetica sells two products: the cloud-delivered Safetica Intelligent Data Security Platform, in Standard, Premium, and Enterprise tiers, and Safetica On-Prem for organizations that cannot host security in the cloud. Both are built around an endpoint agent that audits data flow, enforces data, email, device, and application policies, and feeds an insider-risk layer with user activity audit and behavior analysis. On top of that sits a cloud data protection module for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and since 2025 and 2026 a growing set of "AI" features: AI-driven insights, AI data classification with Smart Tags, a Safetica AI chat interface for reporting, and an AI Protection bundle for governing employee use of generative AI.

The positioning on Safetica's own page is "Essential Visibility" for Standard, "Advanced Security" for Premium, and "Large Multi-nationals" for Enterprise, with On-Prem aimed at "High-Compliance." That is a fair map of its customer base: manufacturing, insurance, legal, financial services, and other regulated mid-market firms, often in Europe and Latin America, where a Windows-heavy fleet and a compliance deadline meet a modest security budget.

Safetica pricing in 2026, tier by tier

Safetica lists annual per-user starting prices and a feature grid. The starting prices, taken from the pricing page:

• Standard: starts at $72 per user per year. Data flow audit, data and email policies, external device policies, blocking and notification policies, volume-aware policies, SSL inspection for extended DLP support, traditional rule-based classification, OCR for sensitive content in images, M365 and Google Drive protection, user activity audit, and the AI Protection features. Limits: 5 reports, 5 admin accounts, 12 months of data retention. No shadow copy, no SIEM, no webhooks.
• Premium: starts at $96 per user per year. Adds AI data classification (updated monthly), AI summaries and smart insights, shadow copy of incident-causing files, user-applied tags, custom app and website categories, SIEM integration, webhooks to Jira and automation tools, the Safetica AI chat interface, and one unit of in-cloud content analysis. Limits: 20 reports, 15 admins, 24 months retention.
• Enterprise: starts at $144 per user per year. Same features as Premium with weekly AI classification updates, three units of in-cloud content analysis, unlimited reports, 50 admins, and 36 months retention.
• On-Prem: contact sales. Policy-based rather than AI-driven insights, no AI data classification, retention limited by your own server and SQL space, and the only tier with native Power BI and Tableau analytics.

Two footnotes on the page deserve attention. In-cloud content analysis beyond the included units "can be added for an additional fee," and the feature labeled "AI tool account identification and control (personal vs business)" carries a double asterisk that reads "Coming in Q4 2026." We will come back to that one, because it is the single most important control in AI governance.

For context on how these numbers sit against the rest of the market, including the vendors that do not publish anything, see what data loss prevention really costs per user in 2026. Safetica's $72 entry is on the low side for a full endpoint DLP, and the jump to $96 is where most of the modern features live.

What Safetica AI Protection actually does

Safetica splits its AI story into two halves. "AI Governance" is visibility: a centralized view of approved and shadow AI applications, who uses them, how often, what data and files are shared, and what protection is in place, with embedded AI-guided prompts to investigate. "DLP for AI assistants" is enforcement: applying DLP policies to sensitive file attachments, pasted text, and prompts shared with ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot, with controls set by data sensitivity, AI tool, employee, department, and user action.

Coverage, per Safetica's FAQ, spans "supported desktop applications and Chromium-based browser experiences on macOS and Windows." That is a meaningful scope: it includes the Claude and ChatGPT desktop apps, which browser-extension DLP tools miss entirely. Safetica's own H1 2026 research gives a sense of why it invested here: AI tools became its number one risky application category in Q2 at 40.7 percent of risky app activity, and ChatGPT and Copilot together accounted for 82.3 percent of blocked AI activity.

What is missing is also clear from the documentation. The named AI assistants are three. Gemini, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Cursor, and the long tail of AI SaaS fall under generic "data policies for popular AI tools" and the shadow AI inventory, which is visibility rather than prompt-level DLP. And the personal-versus-business account control, the thing that lets you say yes to ChatGPT Enterprise and no to someone's personal ChatGPT on the same chatgpt.com domain, is a Q4 2026 roadmap item on the pricing page as of today.

Rules in Standard, AI in Premium

The most consequential line in Safetica's grid is the split between "traditional data classification rules (file content rules)" in every tier and "AI data classification" in Premium and above. On Standard, Safetica classifies the way DLP has classified for twenty years: file content rules, contextual rules based on file origin and properties, predefined templates, and third-party tags. That works for structured identifiers like card numbers and national IDs, and it produces the false positives and missed unstructured data that every DLP admin knows. The AI classifier that reads a document for meaning is a $24 per user step up, and even then its model updates monthly on Premium and weekly on Enterprise.

We think that is backwards for 2026. The leaks that matter now are a contract pasted into a chat window, a customer list attached to a prompt, a snippet of source code dropped into an assistant. None of those match a regex. We laid out the argument in AI DLP: what it is and why regex won't cut it, and the short form is that classification by meaning should be the floor, not the upsell.

Safetica versus dope.security for a mid-market team

Both are endpoint-first, both publish prices, both cover Windows and macOS. The differences are in what runs on the device, how classification works, and how AI accounts are governed. dope.security is the lead pick for teams whose main exposure is the web and AI upload path.

Safetica

An endpoint DLP and insider-risk agent with rule-based classification in Standard and AI classification from Premium up, priced at $72, $96, and $144 per user per year as a starting point. Strong device control, email policies, and user activity audit; cloud protection for M365 and Google Drive in every tier; SIEM from Premium. AI Protection covers ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot prompts, pastes, and uploads in browsers and desktop apps, with personal-versus-business account control listed as coming in Q4 2026. Reports, admin seats, and retention are metered by tier.

dope.security

An on-device secure web gateway with Dopamine DLP built in, under 100 MB of RAM, for Mac and Windows. Dopamine DLP uses an LLM to read the document or prompt and classify it by meaning (PII, PCI, PHI, source code, IP) with no regex rules to write and zero data retention, protected by US Patent 12,464,023, in Block, Monitor, or Off mode. Because the agent performs SSL inspection locally, it sees every upload and prompt to every AI tool and SaaS app, not a named list, and Cloud Application Control enforces enterprise-only access today for ChatGPT, Claude, Google, and Microsoft 365 by inspecting the session on the device. CASB Neural adds one-click cloud DLP for externally shared Drive and OneDrive files, and AI Analytics shows personal versus enterprise-licensed AI use per user with one-click enforcement. SIEM integration, SSO, and instant policy push are included, and pricing is published per user.

• Classification: Safetica is rule-based on Standard and AI-based from Premium; dope.security classifies by meaning in every deployment.
• Personal versus corporate AI accounts: Safetica lists it as coming in Q4 2026; dope.security enforces it on the device now.
• AI tool coverage: Safetica names ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot for prompt-level DLP; dope.security inspects the upload path to any AI tool because inspection runs in the SWG, not in an app list.
• Web security: Safetica is DLP and insider risk; dope.security is a full SWG (URL filtering, SSL inspection, Cloud Application Control) with DLP inside it, so one agent replaces two.
• Metering: Safetica meters reports, admin seats, retention, and in-cloud analysis by tier; dope.security sells the console whole.
• Insider-risk depth: Safetica has deeper user activity audit, device control, and email policies; if screen-level user monitoring is your requirement, that is Safetica's home turf, as we discussed for a similar product in our Teramind DLP review.

Where Safetica is the right answer

Be fair to it. If your primary risk is removable media and printers on a Windows estate, if you need email DLP enforced at the client, if you want behavior analysis on top of data flow audit, or if you must run on-prem with your own SQL retention, Safetica is purpose-built for that and priced to be bought without a procurement war. Its M365 and Google Drive sharing policies in every tier are a genuine plus.

Where it is the wrong answer is a company whose data leaves through the browser and the AI prompt, which in 2026 is most companies, and which also needs a secure web gateway anyway. There the sensible move is one on-device agent that does SSL inspection, web policy, tenant control, and meaning-based DLP together, rather than a DLP agent beside a separate SWG. Outreach Health, a 5,000-plus employee healthcare organization, took that route and cut web-related IT tickets by 70 percent within 90 days while securing 99 percent of devices in the first week.

Bottom line

Safetica earns credit for publishing its prices and for taking AI upload paths seriously. Its weak points are the ones that matter most this year: meaning-based classification is an upsell, and the control that separates your ChatGPT Enterprise tenant from an employee's personal account is a roadmap note. dope.security ships both in the base product, inside a secure web gateway that runs on the device.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Safetica cost per user?

Safetica's pricing page lists annual per-user starting prices of $72 for Standard, $96 for Premium, and $144 for Enterprise on its cloud platform, with On-Prem on a contact-sales basis. In-cloud content analysis beyond the included units costs extra. Those are "starts at" figures, so expect the quote to depend on seat count and term. dope.security publishes a single per-user price that includes the SWG, Dopamine DLP, and AI governance.

Does Safetica protect data in ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot?

Yes. Safetica's AI Protection, included in every tier, applies DLP policies to file attachments, pasted text, and prompts sent to ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot in Chromium-based browsers and supported desktop apps on Windows and macOS. Other AI tools fall under generic data policies and shadow AI visibility. dope.security inspects the upload path to any AI tool on the device, because enforcement lives in the secure web gateway rather than an app list.

Can Safetica block personal ChatGPT accounts but allow a corporate one?

Not as of November 2026. Safetica's pricing page lists "AI tool account identification and control (personal vs business)" with the note "Coming in Q4 2026." Until it ships, Safetica can govern the tool and the data but not the account. dope.security's Cloud Application Control enforces enterprise-only access for ChatGPT, Claude, Google, and Microsoft 365 today by inspecting the session on the device.

Is Safetica's classification rule-based or AI-based?

Both, depending on tier. Every tier includes traditional file-content rules, contextual rules, predefined templates, and OCR. AI data classification with Smart Tags is Premium and Enterprise only, with model updates monthly on Premium and weekly on Enterprise. dope.security's Dopamine DLP classifies every prompt and file by meaning using an LLM with zero data retention, with no rules to write and no tier gate.

Does Safetica work on macOS?

Safetica documents AI Protection coverage for supported desktop applications and Chromium-based browsers on both macOS and Windows, and its platform is sold for mixed fleets; check the current agent feature parity for macOS against Windows during a trial. dope.security ships a Mac-native agent and a Windows agent, each running under 100 MB of RAM, deployable silently through Intune, Jamf, or Kandji.

Do I need a secure web gateway if I have Safetica?

Usually yes. Safetica is a DLP and insider-risk product; it does not provide URL filtering, malware protection, or tenant-level cloud application control for the web as a whole, so most teams pair it with a separate SWG. dope.security combines the SWG and DLP in one on-device agent, with SSL inspection, Cloud Application Control, Dopamine DLP, and CASB Neural under a single console, which removes the second agent and the second bill.
