BlackLine Achieves PCI DSS Compliance for Enhanced Financial Workflows

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 01, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- BlackLine, a provider of the Agentic Financial Operations Platform for the Office of the CFO, has expanded its support for complex financial workflows by achieving Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance validation for its PCI Detokenization Service. This development enables organizations to apply BlackLine’s proven high-volume transaction-matching and reconciliation capabilities to a wider range of complex workflows involving sensitive payment card information.

For companies processing millions of card transactions, even a small percentage of unmatched transactions can result in significant manual work. Security requirements designed to protect cardholder information can limit the data available for automated matching, making full automation more challenging. BlackLine’s PCI Detokenization Integration Service allows authorized users to securely access the payment card information needed for matching, while keeping the underlying cardholder data within the customer’s environment. This integration, combined with BlackLine’s existing high-volume transaction-matching capabilities, helps organizations automate more of the reconciliation process while maintaining rigorous security and control.

“Customers are increasingly asking BlackLine to delve deeper into some of their most complex operational workflows, and greater automation cannot come at the expense of security or control,” said Owen Ryan, CEO and Chairman of BlackLine. “This validation enables organizations to apply BlackLine’s proven matching and reconciliation capabilities to more of the high-volume, sensitive workflows they manage daily. It expands where we can deliver value while maintaining the security and trust our customers demand.”

Jill Knesek, Chief Information Security Officer at BlackLine, added, “PCI DSS is a critical security standard, and in many environments, a prerequisite for technology providers supporting these workflows. This validation gives customers independent assurance that BlackLine has cleared that bar, allowing them to extend automation into sensitive financial processes with confidence.”

The validation extends BlackLine’s capabilities to banking and financial services, as well as other industries such as retail, travel, hospitality, and leisure, where complex financial workflows involving payment card information are common. It broadens the scope of where BlackLine can apply its existing automation and matching capabilities, enhancing the value of the platform in transaction-intensive environments where scale, security, and control are critical.

“BlackLine’s commitment to security and control is at the heart of our platform,” said Ryan. “By achieving this validation, we ensure that our customers can trust BlackLine to handle sensitive financial data with the highest levels of security and integrity.”

With nearly 4,300 customers across multiple industries, BlackLine continues to support the Office of the CFO in scaling AI across Record-to-Report, Invoice-to-Cash, and other processes where finance owns the controls and demands integrity at every step. The company’s focus on security and control, coupled with its commitment to automation, positions BlackLine as a key player in the future of finance and accounting.
