Explanation

Sensitive Information Types (SITs) in Microsoft Purview use pattern-matching techniques that include regular expressions (regex), keyword lists, and checksums to detect sensitive data such as credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, and passport numbers. EDM (Exact Data Match) uses a database of exact values for matching. Fingerprint classifiers create a 'fingerprint' of a form or document template to find similar documents. Trainable classifiers use machine learning trained on examples of content - none of these latter three rely on regular expressions.
