On-device, application-specific compliance enforcement

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor of a user device, perform stages for performing compliance enforcement, the stages comprising:

• storing, at the user device, a first compliance rule that applies to a first application and specifies a first condition and a first remedial action to be performed by the first application;
• storing, at the user device, a second compliance rule that applies to a second application and specifies a second condition and a second remedial action to be performed by the second application;
• determining, by a first compliance engine of the first application, whether the first condition is present;
• based on determining that the first condition is present, performing the first remedial action by the first application;
• determining, by a second compliance engine of the second application, whether the second condition is present;
• based on determining that the second condition is present, performing the second remedial action by the second application;
• receiving escalation instructions from a management server, the escalation instructions instructing the user device to override the first remedial action;
• and
• reversing the first remedial action.

A system for performing compliance enforcement, comprising:

• a user device having a processor and memory storage;
• wherein the memory storage contains a non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, carry out stages comprising:
• storing, at a memory store of a user device, a first compliance rule that applies to a first application and specifies a first condition and a first remedial action to be performed by the first application;
• storing, at the memory store of the user device, a second compliance rule that applies to a second application and specifies a second condition and a second remedial action to be performed by the second application;
• determining, by a first compliance engine of the first application, whether the first condition is present;
• based on determining that the first condition is present, performing the first remedial action by the first application;
• determining, by a second compliance engine of the second application, whether the second condition is present;
• based on determining that the second condition is present, performing the second remedial action by the second application;
• receiving escalation instructions from a management server, the escalation instructions instructing the user device to override the first remedial action;
• and
• reversing the first remedial action.
