A device management system and method for tracking bypass of a print governance policy. A print control agent application can be configured with a set of predefined print governance policies in order to manage a rendering job activity. The print control agent application can pass, confirm and/or reject the rendering job based on the print governance policies. The rendering job activity that bypasses the print governance policies based on a policy violation approach can be tracked and measured utilizing a set of tracking algorithms in order to generate a tracked data. A bypass report can be visually generated based on the tracked data in order to analyze the policy violation and its frequency of occurrence thereby improving compliance with the rendering policies.
