Wouldn't think of using XP as a daily OS unless you're daring enough. NT5 compared to NT6+ feels fundamentally inferior (although it has certain advantages over the latter, especially when it comes to full compatibility with older programs), and the default security policies in the OS feel stale compared to the newer ones (the defaults from the newer systems should ameliorate that, mostly. There was some faggot on YT that made a vid experimenting with that.)
There are many steps to make your XP SP3 image fully updated (unofficial SP4 with POSReady updates), with library/application addons added with nLite (WinCert seems to be the hub for these, these days. ryanVM forums are dead. I believe MyDigitalLife's XP section will also be interesting, along with MSFN's), and drivers being slipstreamed (especially networking and storage drivers). With the activation system being circumvented nowadays, you can even generate a key with stuff like UMSKT or xp_activate32, so that you can activate the OS.
Then you check MSFN and MyDigitalLife for the software compatible with XP - like MyPal68, roytam1's browser builds or Supermium. Hell, you can even enable TLS 1.2 encryption if you are fully-updated, for the schannel-using programs and IE, plus having the latest root certs installed.
And if you can't be arsed to do the modifications and want something "pre-built" - zone94's Integral Edition should be good. Make sure you have that firewall from the Extra Goods installed and enabled, as the default Windows one is inferior (only handles inbound traffic - the default firewall is already disabled in the respin, so yeah).
And make sure that your network is secure - the hardware firewall working as it should, NAT, et cetera. Common Sense is obviously required, and having some lean antivirus with good detection and real-time scanning.
