How to Procure Qlik Government Cloud for Defense Contracts
Qlik Government Cloud is available through GSA MAS Contract 47QSWA18D00BC and SEWP V Contract NNG15SC03B, providing streamlined procurement for federal agencies. Government pricing includes volume discounts typically 15-25% below commercial rates, with educational/nonprofit pricing available for eligible organizations. For SSP development, the authorization boundary encompasses the Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS platform, QlikView AccessPoint, and Qlik NPrinting reporting services within AWS GovCloud infrastructure. Contracting officers must approve the data processing addendum (DPA), business associate agreement if handling PHI, and interconnection security agreements for hybrid deployments connecting to agency networks. The FedRAMP P-ATO from FedRAMP PMO covers the core platform, but agencies must complete their own ATO process typically requiring 4-6 months including security assessment and C&A documentation. For CMMC assessment boundary inclusion, document Qlik Government Cloud as an external service provider requiring contractor oversight of data flows, access controls, and incident response coordination. Ensure the SOW specifies government community cloud deployment to maintain DFARS compliance for CUI processing.
Compliance Cross-References
Qlik Government Cloud's FedRAMP Moderate authorization directly satisfies DFARS 252.204-7012 requirements for adequate security when processing CUI, as the platform implements NIST SP 800-171 controls including Access Control (AC-1 through AC-22), System and Communications Protection (SC-1 through SC-23), and Audit and Accountability (AU-1 through AU-12). The AWS GovCloud deployment aligns with DFARS 252.239-7010 cloud computing security requirements, providing required incident reporting, data location restrictions, and government access provisions. For CMMC Level 2 compliance, the platform addresses Access Control (AC), Audit and Accountability (AU), Configuration Management (CM), Identification and Authentication (IA), System and Communications Protection (SC), and System and Information Integrity (SI) domains through inherited cloud controls and application-level security features. DoD Cloud Computing SRG IL-2 compliance is achieved through FedRAMP Moderate baseline implementation, supporting CUI processing requirements while maintaining appropriate security categorization for defense contractor analytics workloads.
