Built to watch your data without ever moving it
Data Shepherd is a Snowflake-native data quality platform made in Aotearoa New Zealand. We started from a simple conviction: you should be able to trust your data without handing it to a third party to do so.
A New Zealand company with one focus.
Data Shepherd Limited builds and supports Data Shepherd from New Zealand. We work with teams who run their analytics on Snowflake and need to know, around the clock, that the data they depend on is still trustworthy.
Snowflake-native by design
Data Shepherd is built specifically for Snowflake. It installs as a Native App and runs inside your account, rather than as a generic connector bolted on from the outside.
Independent and NZ-based
We are a New Zealand company. The people who build the product are the people who answer your questions - there is no offshore support tier between you and the team.
Practical, not hyped
We would rather ship a check that catches a real problem than a dashboard that looks impressive. The product earns its place by telling you something useful before your stakeholders do.
Your data should never have to leave to be trusted.
Most monitoring tools ask you to copy your data out to them before they will watch it. That trades one risk for another. We took the opposite approach and made it the foundation of the product.
Zero data egress
Checks run on your own Snowflake compute. Your rows, query results and samples are read in place and never copied outside your Snowflake account.
Around the clock
Data quality problems do not keep office hours. Data Shepherd runs your rules on the schedule you set and alerts you when something drifts, so you hear it from us, not from a customer.
Your controls, in force
Because it runs inside your account, the network policies and access controls you already trust still apply. Data Shepherd runs under a dedicated, least-privilege role - scoped to only the access you grant.
