Pricing and timeline in context
Based in Amstelveen, Netherlands, KPMG quotes SOC 2 work in the $75K–$400K band — in line with the big four median of $75K–$400K across the firms we track. As an AICPA-licensed CPA firm it issues SOC 1, SOC 2 Type 1, SOC 2 Type 2, and ISO 27001 reports directly, and the fee scales with your headcount, the Trust Services Criteria in scope, and any frameworks you bundle. Plan for roughly 16–36 weeks on a Type 2 engagement. Compare it against the full SOC 2 audit cost benchmark before you commit.
Who KPMG is for
KPMG works most often with SaaS, Fintech, Healthcare, AI / ML, E-commerce, and GovTech companies, serving clients across United States, United Kingdom, Canada, European Union, Australia, and Global. Enterprises and regulated organizations that need a globally recognized name on the report are the natural fit — expect a fee premium for that brand.

What frameworks does KPMG cover?

Is KPMG an AICPA-licensed CPA firm?
Yes. KPMG is an AICPA-licensed CPA firm, which is a requirement to issue a SOC 2 report — only licensed CPA firms can. It's worth confirming a firm's AICPA peer-review status before signing; see questions to ask a SOC 2 auditor.
