Computing devices, such as Windows XP machines, are classified according to the highest protection level of data they store, process or transmit. Protection level 1 data requires the least protective measures, whereas protection level 3 data requires the most. The campus data classification standard ranks data from 0 (low impact in the event of unauthorized disclosure) to 3 (extreme impact).

Public data requires very little, whereas personally-identifiable data such as social security numbers requires considerable protective measures. Not all data requires the same level of protection. Data ClassificationДata classification is the starting point for how security risk is evaluated. It is strongly preferred that a department requesting exceptions for multiple Windows XP machines file the exception in a single request.

The plan for upgrading or retiring the device at the end of the exception period.

The length of time for the requested exception, with a maximum of one year.

Which set of compensating controls has been implemented for each device (see below, 'Control Sets').

Which of the three device categories does the Windows XP machine belong to (see below, 'Device Categories').

The data classification level of each device (see below, 'Data Classification').

The machines in question, including the IP address and MAC address of each device.

The reason for requesting the exception.

The email must contain the following information: In all cases, compensating controls must be implemented for the exception to be granted.ДЄt the end of the exception period, the Windows XP device must be retired or upgraded, or else another exception request must be filed.Д®xception requests should be emailed to with the title of 'Windows XP exception request'. Compensating controls are alternatives to maintaining a patched operating system. The exception request allows the Windows XP device to remain on the network for the specified period of time, provided that all the required compensating controls (described below) are maintained. MSSND Exceptions for Windows XPДЇor exceptional circumstances requiring Windows XP to remain on the campus network past April 8th, 2014, an exception request must be submitted and an exception to campus policy obtained. Starting May 1 2014, ISP will begin escalating these notices to blocks from the campus network.ДЄll Windows XP devices seen on the campus network will be subject to this enforcement action. Starting April 8, 2014, Information Security and Policy (ISP) will send email notices to the responsible individual or group for Windows XP systems connected to the campus network, asking these devices be upgraded to a supported operating system or else removed from the network. This long-standing policy is in place to ensure the security of institutional data, and to ensure the network remains usable for the entire campus community. After April 8th, Windows XP will no longer be in compliance with MSSND.

Enforcement of campus Minimum Security Standards for Windows XP hostsД¬ampus Minimum Security Standards for Networked Devices (MSSND) require that devices connected to the campus network only run software for which security patches are made available in a timely fashion.

Industry experts generally agree this is a very likely scenario following April 8th 2014. Without security patches for newly discovered vulnerabilities, Windows XP systems will be easy targets for hackers looking to exploit systems with minimal effort. Windows XP systems suffer from much higher infection rates than newer Windows operating systems. There is a tremendous risk in allowing Windows XP systems to remain on the campus network after end of support. After April 8th of 2014, there will be no security patches for this operating system from Microsoft. Effective April 8, 2014, Microsoft is discontinuing support for its Windows XP operating system.
