Snowflake Security in a Day

Is your Snowflake environment still secure after scaling users, data, and use cases?

 

Snowflake Security in a Day aligns your Snowflake configuration to your enterprise security expectations by enabling Snowflake Trust Center, running a CIS-aligned benchmark scan, and translating results into an actionable, prioritized remediation plan with clear ownership.

Snowflake Security in a Day

Validate your Snowflake security setup against enterprise expectations in 8 hours, using Snowflake Trust Center and a CIS-aligned benchmark scan.

Snowflake can scale quickly, even faster than the guardrails around it. As environments expand to new teams and business lines, security posture can drift, and benchmark findings can create noise without clear prioritization or “not applicable” context. With this flat-fee offering, Passerelle consultants will help you validate what matters, reduce misconfiguration risk, and leave with a repeatable way to monitor posture over time.

Snowflake Security in a Day is built for security leaders and teams implementing Snowflake for the first time or scaling an existing deployment. Delivered remotely across sessions, the base package starts at $2,000 (8 hours) and includes Trust Center enablement, CIS benchmark scan review, baseline control implementation (network + SSO), and an executive-ready summary and runbook.

As an optional add-on, Passerelle provides a light retainer for periodic scan reviews, drift checks, and updated remediation priorities as your environment changes.

Testimonials

"Trust Center gives you the signals. Passerelle turns those signals into decisions, so you know what denotes real risk, what’s noise, and what to address first."

Stephen Brooks, Director of Data Security at Passerelle

Your Snowflake Security in a Day Engagement Includes

Enterprise Security Alignment

Passerelle maps your enterprise identity and network expectations to Snowflake configuration, so Snowflake integrates with your broader security posture. This prevents gaps that appear when Snowflake grows beyond its original use case and admin model.

Snowflake Trust Center Enablement

We enable Snowflake Trust Center as the central place to validate posture and manage security visibility inside Snowflake, setting a foundation for ongoing monitoring so security doesn’t become a one-time effort.

CIS Benchmark Scan + Workshop

Passerelle consultants enable and run (or validate scheduling for) the CIS-aligned benchmark scanner and review results with your team in a live workshop. You leave with findings translated into real-world risk, not just a list of flags.

Prioritized Remediation Backlog

Passerelle consultants turn scan output into a prioritized remediation plan with clear sequencing and owner assignment across identity, network, platform admin, and governance domains. We also document “not applicable” rationale where findings don’t fit your implementation, so teams don’t waste cycles.

Baseline Controls Implemented (Network + SSO)

Passerelle consultants implement core baseline controls during the engagement, including network policy (“firewall” / allowlisting) and SSO with your identity provider, so you get immediate hardening, not just recommendations. Your environment will align with Snowflake’s security best-practice emphasis on network controls and strong authentication patterns.

Executive Summary + Runbook

Passerelle provides an executive-ready summary (current posture, key risks, next steps) that supports internal reporting and decision-making. You also get a lightweight runbook focused on preventing drifts as Snowflake scales and new stakeholders are added.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’re already on Snowflake… why do this now?

Snowflake environments evolve fast as new users, data, and use cases get added. This engagement helps you confirm whether your original setup still holds up and gives you a repeatable way to prevent security drifts going forward.

What are CIS Benchmarks?

CIS Benchmarks are consensus-based secure configuration guidelines from the Center for Internet Security; we use the CIS Snowflake Benchmark as the reference for this scan.

What will we accomplish in the first 8 hours?

We enable Snowflake Trust Center, enable and run (or validate scheduling for) the CIS-aligned benchmark scan, and workshop findings with your team. You leave with a prioritized remediation backlog with clear ownership, plus an executive-ready summary and runbook.

Do you implement fixes, or just provide recommendations?

We do both. During the engagement we implement baseline controls, such as network policy/allowlisting and SSO with your identity provider, and we provide a prioritized plan for everything else.

What if the benchmark scan flags items that don’t apply to our environment?

That’s common. We document “not applicable” rationale where appropriate and focus your team on the items that materially reduce risk in your Snowflake implementation, so you don’t waste cycles chasing noise.

Who needs to attend the working sessions?

At minimum: a Snowflake admin/platform owner. To complete baseline controls in-session, you should also have an identity admin (for SSO) and a network admin (for allowlisting/network policy) available. A security leader (or delegate) should join the findings workshop to confirm priorities and ownership.

Is this an audit or a compliance certification?

No. This is a practical security validation and hardening engagement focused on real controls and risk reduction, not a formal audit or certification process.

Does Passerelle need access to your internal network or Snowflake account?

No. This is designed as screen sharing working sessions where Passerelle supports your Snowflake team by providing guidance and the necessary statements for your team to execute.
