# Qlik Cloud Government Qlik Cloud Government and its product offerings are only available for the U.S. Public sector and some U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) agencies. It differes from Qlik’s commercial Qlik Cloud and Qlik Cloud Government - DoD offerings due to the security protocols required to support the U.S. Public sector. See [Qlik Cloud security, compliance, and privacy](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Global_Common/HelpSites/security-compliance.htm) for a summary of compliance certifications and attestations. Qlik keeps the Qlik Cloud Government and Qlik Cloud Government - DoD offerings in sync for product features and capabilities from Qlik Cloud wherever possible. This topic notes feature differences between the Qlik Cloud commercial version and Qlik Cloud Government. The Qlik Cloud documentation set supports both versions, and differences are noted. Information note For information about new and enhanced Qlik Cloud Government features, see[What's new in Qlik Cloud](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Introduction/saas-change-log.htm).
