How it works
Upload your firewall or network SSL certificate through our secure onboarding form. We handle the rest, including generating the per-OS install packages.
A branded self-service page at a custom subdomain is set up within 24 hours. Staff open the link on any device and follow five plain-English steps specific to their OS.
Send the link by email or post it on your staff intranet. Windows, macOS, iOS and Android each get their own clear walkthrough. No IT helpdesk call required.
The admin dashboard updates in real time as devices install or download the certificate. Follow up with the few that are still pending rather than chasing everyone.
