Follow Endpoint Protection Standard to protect university data

Campus IT users are reminded that all endpoints that access, process or store university data must adhere to mandatory security controls specified in the Endpoint Protection Standard (EPS). Endpoints include but are not limited to desktops, laptops, smartphones, and tablets.

The EPS explains the minimum security precautions to protect university data as required by the NC State University Computer Use Regulation. 

In scenarios where teleworking is used, EPS has control requirements to access and store university data for both:

• University-owned devices
  See Table 1.
• Devices not owned by the university
  See Table 2 and Table 3.

For straight-forward guidance, visit the EPS Home Page.

OIT has developed EPS FAQs to help address questions. If you have further questions on how to implement and maintain compliance with the standard, contact your local IT Support or the NC State Help Desk via the NC State IT Service Portal or at 919.515.4357 (HELP).
