Who Is Liberty Center One?
At Liberty Center One, we see ourselves as a service company first and a technology company second.[LR1.1] Our engineering team brings an average of 25+ years of industry experience and a genuine commitment to customer success — from proactive support that prevents issues before they escalate, to automatically including 30 days of backup protection for every server in our cloud so your data is protected from day one without any setup required. Your infrastructure is supported by a team that treats it like their own.
Our Story
Liberty Center One is an IT delivery solutions company focused on data protection and high availability environments, serving businesses across the United States. Liberty operates two hardened data centers in Royal Oak, MI, and Cincinnati, OH, providing colocation solutions, public and private cloud environments, disaster recovery resources and remote desktops as a service.
We strive to help our customers achieve their business goals and to ensure that their data and applications are safe, secure and available.
Customer service is critical to our success. We work collaboratively with our customers to help design engagements that deliver exactly what they need. Our knowledgeable engineering staff has taken heroic measures to assist customers such as restoring databases and an entire computing infrastructure of a municipality as a result of a ransomware attack, making a 100TB storage array available within 24 hours to help a customer with an oversubscribed SAN and migrating a cloud environment between regions to improve latency at the edge.

- Manage our customers most valued assets as if they were our own
- Provide unparalleled customer service
- Make continuous investments in people, processes, and technology
- Commit to partnership with our customers
- Employ people with a passion for excellence
How it all began
Our humble origins date back to 2007 when we transformed an abandoned “old technology” light manufacturing facility into a new, technologically advanced data center, providing new services and employment to support the new economy in South-Eastern Michigan.
Liberty Center One was created to solve the problem of a lack of quality outsourced datacenter companies in the Detroit-Metro region to serve the mission-critical infrastructure needs for the automotive industry.

We are certified and data compliant
Aligned with policies from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) for enterprise-level data centers, our SSAE 16 facility as well as our cloud infrastructure offerings areis certified annually to ensure SOC2, Type II compliance.
As a trusted IT partner, Liberty Center One understands the importance of internal controls and process management. We design and review our processes and procedures to align with the policies set up by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) for enterprise-level data centers.
Plante Moran, the nation’s 13th largest certified public accounting and business advisory firm, conducts an annual audit on the presence and effectiveness of Liberty’s controls and processes. The standards used for the audit are contained in AICPA’s SSAE 16 — Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements which replaced SAS 70 in 2010.
The framework of Liberty’s audit is known as a SOC 2 report which focuses on controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
Plante Moran’s Type II audit verifies that Liberty’s use of its controls is effective in delivering services to our customers. By using an independent audit to conduct a Type II examination, customers are assured that Liberty has both designed controls that are effective, and that these controls are used. Over 150 policy and procedural items are examined, and we obtain evidence to verify that we do what our policies say.
Liberty makes copies of its full auditor’s report available to customers for use in their internal and external compliance programs. A SOC3 public report is also available to provide a high-level summary of the controls and auditors’ opinion. Many customers and partners use these reports to demonstrate their compliance to the SSAE16 standards, reducing their costs of conducting their own audits or supplementing their larger compliance and audit initiatives.
