  • The total number of columns and values scanned

  • The total number of discovered sensitive types, sensitive tables, sensitive columns, and sensitive values

  • (For each sensitive column) The sensitive type, schema name, table name, and column name

  • (For each sensitive column) The sensitive value count, whether the column data was matched (Y or N), whether the column name was matched (Y or N), whether the column comment was matched (Y or N), and confidence level.
