GCP seems culturally a terrible fit for anything compliance-related. Azure and AWS both offer high-compliance regions (Azure Government / AWS GovCloud) that are absolutely necessary for many industries (medical, defense, etc). Slightly salty about this as I am currently migrating a legacy Firebase app because Google doesn't care...

Government Cloud seems to revolve around “access controls” to the cloud instances. I skimmed over one of specifications (“FedRAMP”) and most of the requirements seem like the standard requirements for any type of multi-tenant system (eg, user login expiry).
Doesn’t seem like it offers anything different from the “non-government” packages.

GovCloud is for government agencies though, mostly to facilitate rules such as no access by foreign nationals. Just because you are in a regulated field doesn't mean you qualify to use it.
