Cybersecurity Services for Kelser Corporation

Kelser has been trading since 1981 and is still a Kelly family business, with Barry Kelly as chief executive and Devin Kelly as president. About 35 people work out of one building in Glastonbury, Connecticut, and the client list is deliberately narrow: small and midsize organizations in healthcare, manufacturing, law and financial services. Connecticut being Connecticut, a meaningful share of those manufacturers sell into the defense supply chain. So Kelser advises on CMMC alongside the daily managed services work

CMMC is not steady state work. Assessment readiness, gap remediation and evidence collection arrive in bursts, triggered by a contract award Kelser does not control and cannot schedule around. When three Defense Industrial Base suppliers get the same clause in the same quarter, a team of about 35 already carrying a full managed services book has to decide which client waits. Vendor depth makes it tighter still. Dell VxRail, HPE hybrid infrastructure, Microsoft Intune and Jamf skills are held here by named individuals rather than by departments, so one resignation moves a delivery date instead of a task. At this size the calendar is the constraint, never the competence

CWS supplies the surge. Engineers deploy under the Kelser name, to a single delivery standard, on work anywhere in the United States and Canada, and in French when a Quebec or Canadian federal engagement calls for it. Scoping, quoting and project tracking sit in Corova, which means a project handed to us reports exactly the way a project Kelser runs itself does. The client never learns a second firm was involved
