Our SBA certification adds credibility and distinction to our company profile, helping us stand out to both government agencies and private sector partners. Why this matters: Being SBA-certified as a veteran business is more than a title it’s a powerful credential that can help us: Compete more effectively in federal procurement opportunities Strengthen relationships with organizations and agencies that value veteran-owned vendors Leverage additional business development resources offered through the SBA and veteran business networks. We see this certification as an important milestone in our journey one that enhances our ability to serve our clients and community with integrity, service, and dedication. https://www.tastysunsets.com/blog/blog-vbe-navoba monthly 0.5 2025-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e51c399e9ab15195bc81bc/0cd8c65d-ee0d-4924-b07a-bb8a9aded3a7/NaVOBA_Certification_Veterans_Seals.png Blog - Proud to Be NaVOBA Certified! - What this means: We’re now listed as a NaVOBA-certified business, verifying that we are at least 51 % owned, operated, and controlled by a U.S. military veteran. This certification enhances our visibility and eligibility in veteran-owned business networks, supplier diversity initiatives, and procurement opportunities. With this badge, clients and partners can trust that our veteran-owned status is validated by a respected third-party organization. Why this matters: Becoming NaVOBA certified advances our mission, aligns deeply with our veteran-owned heritage, and strengthens our ability to serve organizations that value service-oriented leadership and reliability.

Why it matters: Parchment has evolved from a delivery network into a data-automation platform. The Raptor engine interprets transcript data at scale, mapping courses, credits, and grades within seconds and delivering clean, structured data directly into institutional systems. Impact: The result is faster transcript processing, higher data accuracy, and greater staff efficiency — turning what was once a manual, time-consuming task into an automated, real-time workflow. Takeaway: A scalable, network-driven solution that continuously improves as more institutions use it — combining reach, reliability, and intelligence in one automation platform. https://www.tastysunsets.com/blog/blog-vbe-oregon monthly 0.5 2025-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e51c399e9ab15195bc81bc/90b8e26d-23c4-410f-8a87-f0d91499d670/VBE-Large.png Blog - We’re Now a Certified Veteran Business Enterprise (VBE)! - What this means: We meet the state’s eligibility criteria and are now recognized as a veteran-owned business eligible for inclusion in the Oregon directory of certified firms.

Why this matters: As a certified VBE, we are positioned to partner with agencies and organizations that have veteran-business inclusion goals. It reinforces our commitment to integrity, service, and community. It also increases our visibility in procurement and supply-chain processes, giving us greater opportunity to serve clients with mission-driven outcomes. https://www.tastysunsets.com/blog/blog-admissions-inbox-dangerous monthly 0.5 2025-10-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e51c399e9ab15195bc81bc/b4846ea8-4964-4074-97ff-7b5f248cfb82/9d5de92d-27e5-4585-a5dc-f0feb2934467.png Blog - Admissions@ The Most Dangerous Inbox on Campus - The Hidden Cost of “Shared” Shared inboxes and common logins aren’t just a communication habit. They’ve become embedded in how admissions teams access portals, track applications, and coordinate external data exchanges. And that’s exactly where the cracks start to show. When Admissions@ (or any shared account) is used to log into portals, request records, or verify credentials, accountability evaporates. Over time, those accounts become a revolving door of access with staff, student workers, and sometimes even vendors using the same credentials. When someone leaves, the password might stay the same. When systems change, the old logins still exist. When an email shows up that looks trustworthy, everyone assumes someone else has already vetted it. That’s how “Admissions@” the symbol of teamwork quietly becomes the biggest security gap on campus. Convenience Over Control Let’s be honest. This isn’t happening because people are careless. It’s happening because admissions is busy. Shared logins are easy. Personal accounts require setup, permissions, and IT coordination. Password management feels like a distraction when application season is in full swing. Even as more institutions implement dual-factor authentication (MFA), shared accounts often slip through the cracks. Some are set up before MFA became mandatory. Others are exempted because multiple people need access and managing individual tokens feels cumbersome. https://www.tastysunsets.com/blog/blog-your-transcript-has-arrived monthly 0.5 2025-10-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68e51c399e9ab15195bc81bc/68e7e820-ee6a-472f-afef-6c552d1de1d1/dd.png Blog - Your Transcript Has Arrived! (And So Has the Phishing Link.) - Hover, Click, Hope Here’s a small truth with big implications. Not everyone on the receiving end of a transcript email knows that hovering over a link can reveal where it’s actually going. And even for those who do know many just look for a familiar vendor name somewhere in the address, rather than confirming it’s truly the vendor’s domain. Attackers count on that! All it takes is a believable name and a plausible URL to slip past the human radar. The result? An admissions office clicking into a page that looks like a secure transcript download, but instead: delivers malware or ransomware, harvests staff login credentials, or installs tracking code to access future institutional communications. A forged transcript getting a learner admitted is a real problem. Full stop. However, it’s often the least of an institution’s worries in these instances. More frequently, the malicious link used to deliver that transcript is an entry point for far greater harm. Malware or ransomware that cripples systems, phishing pages that harvest staff credentials, or backdoors that enable attackers to roam and exfiltrate sensitive data. Those outcomes can lead to operational disruption, regulatory exposure, financial loss, and long-term reputational damage. All far more expensive and time consuming to remediate than re-evaluating a single application. https://www.tastysunsets.com/blog/category/Trust+%26+Security+in+Education monthly 0.5
