For organizations processing millions of card transactions, even a small percentage of unmatched transactions can create significant manual work. Security requirements designed to protect cardholder information can limit the data available for automated matching, making it more difficult to fully automate these workflows. BlackLine’s PCI Detokenization Integration Service enables authorized users to securely access the payment card information required for matching, while the underlying cardholder data remains within the customer’s environment. Combined with BlackLine’s existing high-volume transaction-matching capabilities, this enables organizations to automate more of the reconciliation process while maintaining rigorous <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=OmhMnibqev-69dQgRPc21ja5KeKawPfxR0K3tI_or440pveb5nPTq9gd0gKsJ7A8DhxSJLxi4eHubPsKciB7d9om664AZRN0kjW7ixJa4q6wSFiwwIQOBo-je64T-W1F" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="security and control">security and control</a>. “Our customers are asking BlackLine to go 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 every day. It expands where we can deliver value while maintaining the security and trust our customers demand.” “For organizations managing payment-card information, PCI DSS is an important security standard and, in many environments, a prerequisite for technology providers supporting these workflows,” said Jill Knesek, Chief Information Security Officer at BlackLine. “This validation gives customers independent assurance that BlackLine has cleared that bar, allowing them to extend automation into sensitive financial processes with confidence.” While banking and financial services represent a significant opportunity for these use cases, organizations across industries such as <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=VHHthtvCqzVhhOnmHdJFs3VHIQsD7WI47CabdQ2Qu2qN-Oh4nQpeh4HmBYYmaizRWu4S1R8IDZOavP8x8mr3POe8QOeMUvwDG9p9R6ToWFc=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="retail">retail</a>, <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=sEAyp0zdwp6_AP99kzjPrYURgdYRwkZtJbfs2wNvKj4FNn_DVV09i0eEtuk4moSuH0--fn18Pch8MtkWdNpTFLshpeNkwtiKathVTvG6jntfmOL6CM0oL7FC5gLSoSInPsYcp8HJ1uvLNEF1IqoLogV0YGyLj8sEEPcA-M8UplQ=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="travel, hospitality, and leisure">travel, hospitality, and leisure</a> manage complex financial workflows that involve payment card information.
