Sensitive Infomration Retrieved or Stored in DLP

I am evaluating DLP tools for a client.  It has been suggested that the Symantec tool creates a record of the information being targeted (SSN/TIN, PAN, etc) when it is found that includes the sensitive information.  This approach would in fact create a problem by proliferating the target information the tool is being used to search for. 

1. Is this accurate?

2. Can the tool be configured to only record and report on the meta-data and type of information found as opposed to storing a copy of the sensitive information?

Thank you in advance.
