A $6-per-user browser security plan with extensive controls across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Chrome Enterprise Premium is Google’s managed enterprise browser offering for organizations that need centralized administration and advanced browser security. It is designed for security and IT teams managing browser policies, extensions, access, data movement, and threat protection across Windows, macOS, and Linux. The product combines policy management with controls for SaaS, Google Cloud, private web apps, and browser activity, making it a fit for enterprises that want browser governance tied to identity and security operations.
The published plan is Chrome Enterprise Premium at $6 per user per month, billed monthly. It adds enhanced data loss prevention, context-aware access, browser security insights, and advanced malware and phishing protections. DLP policies can cover uploads, downloads, pasted content, printing, and visited URLs, while administrators can manage URL categories, extension requests and permissions, browser settings, and evidence for files and incidents. Browser reporting covers applications, extensions, and versions, and security insights include risky users, data transfers, and shadow AI activity. There is no free plan, and the offering presents one listed paid tier rather than multiple feature levels.
Its ecosystem fit is a major part of the proposition. Integrations include Microsoft, VMware, Jamf, Cisco Duo, CrowdStrike, JumpCloud, Okta, Palo Alto Networks, Ping Identity, Splunk, Symantec, Trellix, and Zscaler Private Access. Those connections support organizations that already coordinate identity, device, network, and security tooling across several vendors. Choose Chrome Enterprise Premium if browser-level DLP, access controls, reporting, extension governance, and malware protection are central requirements. Organizations looking primarily for broad endpoint administration beyond browser controls should consider a product with a wider device-management scope.
