There is no such thing as "generic PII data scan".

Firstly, you need to define what you want to find, then define how this data can be expressed, then you search for it.

And you'll always get false positives and false negatives. That's just how it is with automated searching for such loosely defined stuff.

The more precisely defined format, the better (like IBAN numbers).
