Bedrock Data, a data-centric security, governance and management platform, has received a strategic investment from Snowflake Ventures, the venture arm of cloud data company Snowflake, to expand its AI data governance capabilities across Snowflake’s AI Data Cloud.
The deal includes a go-to-market partnership and deeper technical integration, with Bedrock Data’s AI-powered classification and governance tools to be made available within Snowflake Horizon, providing customers with a consolidated view of their data estate.
Alongside the investment, Bedrock Data has launched a new ArgusAI integration with Snowflake Cortex AI, giving enterprises greater visibility into AI agents and the data they interact with, and allowing organisations to govern generative AI deployments with greater control and reduced risk exposure.
Central to the partnership is Bedrock Data’s patented Metadata Lake, a continuously updated graph knowledge base that captures every dimension of enterprise data — covering sensitivity, lineage, entitlements, access patterns and business context. Integrated with Snowflake Horizon, the Metadata Lake acts as the definitive source of truth for data sensitivity and risk across an organisation’s full data landscape, removing the need for manual tagging while supporting AI and agent-driven workflows.
The platform offers continuous, petabyte-scale discovery and classification of sensitive data held within Snowflake environments, spanning PII, 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.”
