KPMG does not publish SOC 2 pricing; quotes are scoped per engagement. For market context, one 2026 industry guide (Strac) puts Big 4 SOC 2 audit fees at $75K to $200K+. Checked 2026-11-04.
Yes. KPMG is an AICPA-accredited firm and passed its most recent peer review in November 2023, per KPMG's own regulatory and peer reviews page.
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.
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.
