Purview covers:

Lots of built-in pattern classifiers such as credit cards and PII data are Sensitive Information Type (SIT), which uses expressions like RegEx to identify types of information example [A-Z]{2}[0-9]{6}[A-D]{1} for a UK National Insurance Number. The dictionary allows one to add words to customise discovery and automatic tagging and labelling for each organisation and industry. Can also build custom SITs based on specific patterns. Activity Explorer and Content Explorer help understand the data information architecture and usage.
