Bedrock Data Brings AI Governance To Snowflake Cortex At No Cost

SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bedrock Data, the platform provider for data-centric security, governance and management, today announced an expansion of Bedrock Data Free for Snowflake. The expansion extends the same free tier to Snowflake Cortex, adding Cortex agent discovery, agent cards that map each Cortex agent to the data it can access and expand data classification by business domain. Bedrock Data Free for Snowflake helps Snowflake customers produce evidence aligned to regulatory framework controls and corporate policies.

As Snowflake customers scale Cortex AI adoption, ensuring visibility and control over how data is accessed and used is essential. Teams need to understand which data agents can access, identify sensitive data such as customer and employee information, and ensure it’s handled appropriately. Without that visibility, data could be exposed to the wrong audiences or used in ways that doesn’t align with internal policies

“Snowflake customers are moving quickly to adopt Cortex AI, which raises the bar for data visibility and governance,” said Bruno Kurtic, CEO and co-founder of Bedrock Data. “With the expanded Bedrock Data Free for Snowflake, teams can classify sensitive data across their environment and see how every Cortex agent interacts with it – from day one and at no cost.”

Bedrock Data Free for Snowflake: Discover, Classify and Govern Snowflake Data and Cortex Agents at No Cost

Snowflake AI Data Cloud has become the home of the most valuable enterprise data and Snowflake Cortex AI is rapidly becoming the AI platform for the enterprise. Bedrock Data Free for Snowflake brings classification, governance and AI risk visibility together in a single free tier, so enterprises can deploy Cortex AI agents rapidly and safely on their most valuable data. This builds on Bedrock Data’s integration with Snowflake Horizon Catalog.

The expanded product delivers two core capability areas:

• Continuous data discovery and classification: Bedrock Data Free for Snowflake gives Snowflake customers visibility into where sensitive data lives inside their Snowflake environment, automatically discovering schemas and tables, then classifying the sensitive data inside them, including PII, PCI, PHI, NPI. New in this release, Bedrock Data Free for Snowflake now classifies data by business domain (e.g., intellectual property, financial data) giving teams the context they need to decide which data should be available to which AI agent.
• ArgusAI Cortex agent discovery and the agent card: Bedrock Data Free for Snowflake automatically discovers every Cortex agent in the customer’s Snowflake environment and produces an agent card for each one. The agent card shows which tables and views the agent can access, which sensitive and data types those assets contain, and which tools the agent uses to access them, giving security and governance teams a structured, defensible record they can use for agent reviews and regulatory audit.

Bedrock Data Free for Snowflake gives Snowflake customers a no-cost path to understand both the data in their environment and the Cortex services and agents built on top of it.

Availability

The expanded Bedrock Data Free for Snowflake is available now and will be demonstrated at Snowflake Summit, June 1-4 2026 in San Francisco.
