Overview

Data classification is the detection layer of SC-401. The administrator must translate business requirements into reliable classifiers and then validate how those classifiers behave across the supported Microsoft Purview estate.

Core Concepts

  • Sensitive information type (SIT): pattern-based detector for structured sensitive data such as identifiers, financial data, or organization-specific formats.
  • Built-in SITs are supplied by Microsoft; custom SITs let you define organization-specific patterns, evidence, confidence levels, and proximity.
  • A custom SIT is appropriate when the data has a recognizable structure but no suitable built-in detector exists.

Exam Tips

  • Translate the business requirement before selecting the technology.
  • Pattern -> SIT. Known exact values -> EDM. Known document template -> Fingerprint. Context -> Trainable classifier. Images -> OCR.
