You are creating a custom sensitive information type in the Microsoft Purview portal to detect a proprietary employee ID format. You need to define the core element that triggers detection and an optional element that increases confidence when found nearby. Which two element categories must you configure?

  • APrimary element and supporting element Correct
  • BDefault classifier and trainable classifier
  • CAdaptive scope and policy filter
  • DAuto-label condition and manual override
Apply the documented Microsoft 365 / Microsoft Entra ID behaviour to the scenario. When you create a custom SIT in Information Protection > Classifiers > Sensitive info types > Create sensitive info type, each pattern requires a Primary element and may include one or more Supporting elements, each with their own character proximity.

Why A is correct: Correct. When you create a custom SIT in Information Protection > Classifiers > Sensitive info types > Create sensitive info type, each pattern requires a Primary element and may include one or more Supporting elements, each with their own character proximity.

Why B is wrong: Trainable classifiers are a separate Purview content-classification mechanism; they are not components of a SIT pattern.

Why C is wrong: Adaptive scopes are used by retention and DLP policy targeting, not by SIT pattern definitions.

Why D is wrong: Auto-labelling consumes a SIT as a condition; it is not part of how the SIT itself is structured.
