How long does a SOC 2 Type II engagement with KPMG typically take?

KPMG's typical SOC 2 engagement timeline is approximately 10 weeks for fieldwork and reporting, per the auditor record. The full engagement including an observation period (the AICPA sets no fixed minimum; 3 months or more is common) typically runs 6–9 months end-to-end for enterprise clients.

What GRC platforms does KPMG work with?

We found no public SOC 2 evidence partnership between KPMG and Vanta, Drata, Secureframe or Hyperproof. TrustCloud lists KPMG as an auditor in its partner directory, and KPMG LLP has a strategic alliance with AuditBoard (now Optro) that covers GRC and internal-audit technology rather than SOC 2 evidence sharing.
