Office 365 Government plans

Office 365 Government plans are designed for the unique needs of government organizations. They provide all the features and capabilities of Office 365 services in a segmented government cloud community that enables organizations to meet U.S. compliance and security standards.

Office 365 Government plans are available to (1) qualified government entities, including US federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial government entities, and (2) other entities (subject to validation of eligibility) who handle data subject to government regulations and requirements, where use of Office 365 Government is appropriate to meet these regulations and requirements. Each plan is offered as a monthly subscription and can be licensed to an unlimited number of users. Start the free trial to begin the special compliance validation process required for eligibility. Once your organization has been validated, you can begin using the trial. Learn more about eligibility requirements.
