SaaS analytics moves your data to the cloud.
Typical BI vendors copy your warehouse to their infrastructure - "for performance." That copy is a compliance liability: data residency violations, audit log gaps, third-party exposure.
Security & Control
Your data stays where it belongs.
Quaeris is warehouse-native. No data copy. No cache layer. No exfiltration risk. Agents query your Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, or Redshift in place - with row-level security enforced. Every query runs in your environment. Every result stays governed.

Core CapabilitiesQuery your warehouse.
Query your warehouse.
Never move the data.
Quaeris runs governed natural-language queries directly inside Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift, and Synapse - no pipelines, no copies, no egress fees, no compliance gaps.
One interface. Every warehouse. No copies.
Quaeris federates natural-language questions across your existing warehouse estate at query time. The data stays exactly where your security and governance teams already control it.
- Supports Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift, and Synapse - switch warehouses without reconfiguring the semantic layer.
- Push-down execution: SQL runs inside your warehouse compute, so performance scales with your existing credits, not a third-party layer.
- No ETL, no staging schema, no replication job to maintain or break.
Your data never leaves the warehouse boundary.
Every result set is computed and trimmed inside your warehouse perimeter before it surfaces in Quaeris. No row of raw data transits a third-party server.
- Certified-query mode returns only aggregated results - raw grain never leaves the compute environment.
- Egress cost is zero: all computation uses the warehouse engine you already pay for.
- Passes SOC 2 and HIPAA egress controls out of the box, with no additional configuration required.
Your warehouse roles enforce every query, at runtime.
Quaeris inherits and enforces your existing warehouse RBAC at the moment the SQL executes - no parallel permission store, no drift, no shadow tables to keep in sync.
- Runs queries under the authenticated user's warehouse identity, so row-level security and column masking policies apply automatically.
- Finance sees revenue. Ops sees throughput. No analyst can exceed the access their warehouse role already grants.
- Permission changes in Snowflake or BigQuery propagate instantly - no cache flush, no re-sync job.
Every question asked. Every query run. All logged.
Quaeris writes a tamper-evident audit record for every natural-language question, the SQL it generated, the warehouse it ran against, the user who asked it, and the result count returned.
- Audit records include question text, generated SQL, warehouse target, user identity, timestamp, and row count - no gaps.
- Logs ship to your SIEM or data warehouse on a schedule you control, not ours.
- Compliance teams get a point-in-time query lineage report with one export - no manual reconstruction.
The RiskMost analytics vendors move
Most analytics vendors move
your data first.
Traditional SaaS BI copies data to their cloud before it answers a question. That copy is where compliance risk begins.
Warehouse-native keeps your data locked in place.
No copy. No cloud sync. Quaeris connects directly to your warehouse and executes queries in silo. Your data never crosses a network boundary to Quaeris infrastructure.
Multi-tenant vendors blur account boundaries.
Shared infrastructure creates cross-tenant risks. Query isolation is app-level, not infrastructure-level. One SQL injection in another tenant's query potentially exposes your data.
Single-tenant deployment per customer.
Your agents, your semantic layer, your query execution - all isolated in your environment. No shared infrastructure. No cross-customer blast radius.
How it worksWarehouse-native isn't a
Warehouse-native isn't a
marketing phrase.
It's an architecture. Click each layer to understand where each component lives - and why your data never leaves.
01
Your Warehouse
Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Synapse, Redshift - your system of record. Where your data lives. Unchanged. Quaeris never persists anything here without your explicit control.
02
Quaeris Warehouse Connector
Native connector for your warehouse. Direct SQL execution engine. Zero data copy - queries are pushed down into your warehouse compute, results stream back governed.
03
Governed Semantic Layer
Metric definitions, business rules, ownership, and enforced row-level security. Lives in your warehouse (e.g., as in-warehouse metadata) or your VPC. Never on Quaeris servers.
04
Query Agents & Audit
Agents run in your environment or behind your firewall. Every question, reasoning step, metric applied, and row returned is logged - immutably - in your infrastructure.
Quaeris connects directly to your existing warehouse and executes every query in place. The semantic layer can live in-warehouse or in your private cloud. Agents run in your environment. Your data never lands on Quaeris infrastructure.
Layer 01
Your system of record stays untouched
Data residency is enforced by your warehouse - Quaeris never moves, copies, or caches your raw data. EU data stays on your EU instance.
Layer 02
GDPR-compliant by architecture
Connector pushes queries down. No secondary store. Data in EU, agents in EU - no cross-border transfer without your orchestration.
Layer 03
SOX audit-ready semantic layer
Metric definitions are versioned and owned. Every query cites which metric version was applied. Auditors get lineage in one click.
Layer 04
Data residency enforced end-to-end
Agents run inside your perimeter. Audit logs are written to your infrastructure. Zero bytes leave your control at any layer.

Data Residency & ComplianceData stays in
Data stays in
your hands.
Warehouse-native architecture solves data residency by design - not as a configuration option. Your data is where you put it. Quaeris queries it. Nothing moves.
GDPR & EU Data Residency
European regulations require personal data to stay within EU borders. Quaeris is warehouse-native, so your EU data stays on your EU warehouse instance - no transfer to US servers. Your semantic layer can be deployed in your EU VPC. Agents run in-region. Audit trails stay in-region.
SOC 2 Type II certification in progress · details available on request
HIPAA & Healthcare Data Protection
HIPAA-covered entities must maintain tight access logs and audit trails. Quaeris logs every query, every agent step, and every answer at the warehouse level - immutable, in-place. No data copy means no secondary handling; no secondary handling means lower breach risk and simpler audit trails.
Runs in your cloud regions - including AWS us-east-1, us-west-2, and eu-west-1 · additional regions on request
SOX Compliance & Financial Audit
SOX auditors demand proof that financial queries are governed and their results audited. Quaeris's audit trail is a first-class citizen: every question, every agent reasoning step, every metric definition applied - all logged. The log is immutable (warehouse-level) and can be exported for SOX reviews.

Data Residency for Regulated Industries
Some contracts forbid data transfer to third parties. Others require data to stay within a specific geography or cloud. Warehouse-native architecture solves this: Quaeris is a query layer, not a data layer. Deploy it behind your firewall, in your private cloud, or on your warehouse's private endpoint.
Deployment ModelsPick your
Pick your
infrastructure posture.
All three models are warehouse-native. Pick the one that matches your compliance requirements.
SaaS, Behind Your Firewall
Quaeris SaaS runs in AWS or Azure, but agents connect to your warehouse through a private endpoint or VPN tunnel. Your queries never touch the public internet.
- Fastest to deploy (hours, not days)
- Automatic updates and security patches
- Zero infrastructure burden on your team
- Private endpoint or VPN tunnel required
- Data residency: your warehouse location
For: Most enterprises. SaaS convenience without public-internet data flow.
Self-Hosted in Your VPC
Deploy the entire Quaeris stack - agents, semantic layer, API - in your private cloud or VPC. Quaeris connects to your warehouse from inside your network perimeter.
- Complete infrastructure control
- No egress to Quaeris-managed servers
- Single-tenant, isolated deployment
- Your team manages updates
- Data residency: wherever you deploy
For: Highly regulated customers (financial services, healthcare, federal).
Warehouse-Native App Roadmap

Access control is enforced at query execution time, not as a post-query filter. When a user asks a question, Quaeris agents apply their role's permissions before the query runs - only rows and columns they're allowed to see are queried from your warehouse. Results are audited: who asked, what question, which metrics were used, which rows returned. Full lineage, immutable log.
Why query-time access control matters
- Faster: no post-query filtering overhead
- Safer: permissions enforced before warehouse load
- Auditable: logs prove policy was applied at execution
- Compliant: role-based enforcement supports SOX audit trails; HIPAA controls on roadmap

Questions.
Everything you need to know about how Quaeris keeps your data in place.
No. Quaeris is warehouse-native. Agents query your warehouse directly and return results. Your raw data is never copied to Quaeris infrastructure. Results are cached temporarily for performance (audit-log compatible) but never persisted without your control.
