Δελτίο Ταυτότητας
Detects Δελτίο Ταυτότητας patterns. This pattern is based on a Microsoft Purview built-in sensitive information type. Users already running Purview may prefer to enable the built-in SIT directly, or use this version as a starting point for customisation.

Known false positives
- Eight-digit numeric sequences are extremely common in dates, phone numbers, and other non-identity contexts. Mitigation: Require corroborative evidence keywords in Greek, Turkish, or English within the proximity window.
- In multiple languages, similar terminology used in formal or administrative contexts (education, professional documentation) that does not constitute sensitive data collection. Mitigation: Layer with additional contextual signals such as structured identifiers, form fields, or database column headers to distinguish sensitive records from general references.
