Snowflake announced that an independent third‑party audit has confirmed its AWS Auckland deployment complies with the New Zealand Information Security Manual (NZISM) Restricted level. The assessment was completed on 7 October 2026. This means New Zealand government agencies can use Snowflake without extra security paperwork, speeding up cloud‑based data and AI projects.
Why it matters
New Zealand public‑sector teams can adopt Snowflake’s analytics and AI tools faster because the security audit removes a major procurement hurdle.
