      How to allow Full Disk Access

      Full Disk Access is crucial for the functioning of Safetica and needs to be allowed manually after Safetica Client is installed.

      The System Preferences window should open automatically after installation.

      1. Click Privacy & Security and then Full Disk Access.

      2. You will see our services – STContentService, STCService, and STFileMonitor – easily recognizable by the Safetica logo.

      3. Switch their toggle to Allow. This will give these services Full Disk Access.


      We strongly recommend not granting the permission to services you do not know or services that you are not specifically willing to grant the permission to.

      How to allow access to web browser data in Safari and Chrome

      When you open the Safari or Chrome web browser for the first time after installing Safetica for macOS, a pop-up  appears. Click Allow.

      If permissions for web browsers are not granted, they will be requested automatically after every restart of the browser.
