A system and method for identifying eligible and approved governance lifecycle actions on information assets, and for enforcing (and carrying out) these actions (in a universal way) on information assets while they remain in-place in their repositories. The system and method includes three integrated modules. First, an Information Governance Policy Module (IGPM) for creating a Master Classification (MC) of Record Classes (RC) for the entity and corresponding governance rules for each. Second, an Information Governance Control Module (IGCM) allowing administrators in the sub-entities to create and manage file plans using the RC definitions in IGPM, associate these file plans with jurisdictions, and manage sub-entity's records within them. Third, a Governance Policy Enforcement Layer (GPEL) comprising one or multiple software connectors. These are software modules that tie (connect) IGCM to various repositories of information assets, and enforce the eligible and approved governance lifecycle actions on the in-formation assets located in the repositories.
