Distribution via MDM only: Apple Configuration Profiles can only be distributed and installed via MDM (Mobile Device Management).

Reasons for installing our signed Apple Configuration Profile

  • Streamline Safetica functionality.
  • Ensure correct functioning of file audit and obtain the necessary logs.
  • Read data from the system and apps (e.g URLs of visited websites).
  • Enable user notifications and alerts.
  • Solve this issue with Safari and Chrome (repeated requests to allow web audit are shown to end user)

Manual permissions vs. Apple Configuration Profiles: While it is possible to manually set permissions on macOS after Safetica installation, doing so may result in repetitive and less user-friendly pop-ups in web browsers.  

With configuration profiles, this issue does not happen.
