    PCI DSS
    NOT CONFIRMED

    No vendor-domain statement asserting PCI DSS compliance was found. The vendor's own pages reference PCI DSS requirements but do not publicly claim certification. The only affirmative 'PCI Compliant' assertion comes from a third-party profile, which also over-claims FedRAMP for Airbase and is not reliable evidence.

    source: paylocity.com
    HIPAA
    NOT CONFIRMED

    No vendor-domain statement confirms HIPAA compliance or BAA availability for the Airbase spend product. A 2023 third-party assessment (Paubox) found no BAA capability on Airbase's site. Post-acquisition, Paylocity signs BAAs at the parent level, but product-level coverage for the Airbase spend platform is not publicly documented.

    FedRAMP
    NOT CONFIRMED

    No evidence found in FedRAMP marketplace or official vendor documentation. Nudge Security profile claims 'FedRAMP Compliant' but this is unverified and does not appear in official FedRAMP Marketplace product listings.

    source: marketplace.fedramp.gov
    CSA STAR Level 1
    NOT CONFIRMED

    No public vendor-domain evidence of CSA STAR Level 1 registration or certification was found on the vendor's trust center or security pages. The only assertion comes from a third-party profile, which also over-claims FedRAMP for Airbase and is not reliable evidence.

    // Products & data scope

    Airbase PlatformSpend Management / Financial Operations

    Data it handles: Customer financial data, vendor information, payment records, corporate card transactions, procurement data

    Now operated as Airbase by Paylocity following October 2024 acquisition for $325M. Targets finance and HR leaders managing spend across payroll and non-payroll expenses on unified platform.

    // What to watch

    • A third-party profile claims Airbase is 'FedRAMP Compliant,' but no evidence is found in the FedRAMP Marketplace or official vendor documentation. Neither Airbase nor Paylocity appears to be FedRAMP authorized.
    • The SOC 1, SOC 2 Type II, and ISO 27001 certifications are held by Paylocity, the parent company, not by Airbase as a separate entity. The airbase.com pages now redirect to paylocity.com. These are Paylocity parent-company certifications that cover the Airbase-by-Paylocity product.
    • A third-party profile claims Airbase has HIPAA compliance, but an independent assessment (Paubox, March 2023) found no mention of BAA capability on Airbase's public site. Post-acquisition, Paylocity signs BAAs at the parent level, but product-level BAA availability for the Airbase spend platform is not publicly confirmed.
    • Paylocity completed its acquisition of Airbase on October 1, 2024. The vendor is now 'Airbase, a Paylocity Company.' Certifications shown are the parent's (Paylocity) and are presumed to cover the Airbase product; product-specific scoping is not separately published.

    // How we verified this

    Every certification marked HELD is confirmed against a verbatim quote on Airbase Inc. (acquired by Paylocity Corporation, October 2024)'s own trust, security, or privacy pages. We reject certifications claimed only on third-party aggregators, on a cloud host's behalf, or by a similarly named company.

    Last verified 2026-07-06. Compliance changes over time. Always confirm directly with the vendor before relying on any certification for a purchasing or compliance decision.
