System and method for handling digital content governance in an organization

A computer-implemented system comprising one or more processors configured to perform a plurality of computing operations comprising:

• removing a first item from a client computing system, in response to detecting the first item is declared as belonging to a first class in a database,
• preventing editing of a second item by the client computing system, in response to detecting the second item is declared as belonging to a second class in the database;
• a record declared as belonging to the first class or the second class by an application executed on the client computing system,
• the client computing system remotely connected, via a communications network, to a content management system associated with the database;
• and
• queuing a third item for transfer to the client computing system over the communications network, in response to detecting a synchronization event initiated by the client computing system or a server computing system connected to the client computing system over the communications network.

A non-transitory data storage medium including logic code which when processed by a controller causes the controller to perform operations comprising:

• removing a first item from a client computing system, in response to detecting the first item is declared as belonging to a first class in a database;
• preventing editing of a second item by the client computing system, in response to detecting the second item is declared as belonging to a second class in the database,
• a record declared as belonging to the first class or the second class by an application executed on the client computing system,
• the client computing system remotely connected, via a communications network, to a content management system associated with the database;
• and
• queuing a third item for transfer to the client computing system over the communications network, in response to detecting a synchronization event initiated by the client computing system or a server computing system connected to the client computing system over the communications network.
