Snowflake has achieved Department of Defense (DOD) Impact Level 5 (IL5) Provisional Authorization (PA) on AWS GovCloud US-West.
This authorization enables Snowflake to offer IL5 authorized solutions to organizations requiring the highest levels of protection for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) within the DOD and related agencies. It also allows the DOD to leverage advanced data analytics, collaborate securely and generate AI-driven insights on Snowflake’s platform to enhance mission-critical operations, accelerate digital transformation initiatives and achieve cognitive advantage. This milestone comes as Snowflake expands its government-focused operations with the launch of Snowflake Public Sector, Inc., a dedicated US Public Sector subsidiary, emphasizing its commitment to serving Federal, Defense, State and local government and education entities.
The IL5 PA from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) can be used by all agencies and military services within the DOD, including the Army, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Combatant Commands. It also extends to industry mission partners and eligible State and Federal agencies seeking the secure data storage, collaboration and analytics capabilities of Snowflake’s unified data platform.
Matthew Rose, Head of Corporate Government Relations, Snowflake, said: “Achieving IL5 authorization underscores Snowflake’s commitment to providing solutions to service members, customers and industry partners. This milestone allows us to bring secure and efficient enterprise solutions to controlled unclassified workloads across the national security community, improving readiness, ensuring fiscal accountability, rebuilding the military and industrial base and delivering the best systems available.”
