Bedrock Data, a platform provider for data-centric security, governance and management, has secured a strategic investment from Snowflake Ventures, alongside a deeper technical integration with Snowflake’s AI Data Cloud and a go-to-market partnership.
The investment will see Bedrock Data’s AI-powered data classification and governance capabilities delivered within Snowflake Horizon, giving Snowflake customers a unified view of their data estate.
As part of the announcement, Bedrock Data also unveiled a new ArgusAI integration with Snowflake Cortex AI, designed to provide enterprises with deeper visibility into AI agents and the data they access, enabling them to govern generative AI with reduced exposure and greater confidence.
The partnership brings Bedrock Data’s patented Metadata Lake — a continuously updated graph knowledge base that maps every dimension of enterprise data, including sensitivity, lineage, entitlements, access patterns and business context — to Snowflake Horizon. The Metadata Lake functions as a single source of truth for data sensitivity and risk context across an organisation’s entire data landscape, supporting Snowflake adoption across all workflows, including AI and agent-driven applications, without the need for manual tagging.
Bedrock Data’s platform delivers continuous, petabyte-scale visibility and security for Snowflake environments, autonomously discovering and classifying sensitive data — including personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI), intellectual property and other high-value assets — across structured, semi-structured and unstructured datasets.
Snowflake Ventures head Harsha Kapre said, “Enterprises run their most critical data and AI workloads on Snowflake, where strong governance enables AI adoption,” said Harsha Kapre, Head of Snowflake Ventures. “Bedrock Data’s integrations with Snowflake Horizon and Snowflake Cortex AI help joint customers accelerate AI initiatives while maintaining security and compliance.”
Bedrock Data CEO and co-founder Bruno Kurtic said, “For many large enterprises, Snowflake is home to the data that drives their most important decisions. Securing that data, across both traditional analytics workloads and emerging AI applications, is a foundational requirement for any enterprise AI strategy.
“Snowflake’s investment affirms that data-centric governance is not a nice-to-have – it is a prerequisite for deploying AI with confidence. Together, we are giving enterprises the data visibility and control they need to innovate while improving security, governance and compliance.”
