For schools, SMEs, and organisations using Netsweeper web filtering, installing the iPad security certificate is an essential step. Without the certificate, web filtering may not work properly, and users could experience blocked content or security warnings.
To make IT simple, we’ve put together a clear, step-by-step guide to installing the Netsweeper iPad certificate so your devices remain compliant, secure, and ready for use.

Without installing the certificate, the iPad may not recognise Netsweeper as a trusted source — which can cause browsing issues or reduce filtering effectiveness.
Step 1: Download the Certificate

Step 2: Open Settings
On your iPad, open the Settings app.
Step 3: Locate the Profile
On the left-hand side, tap “Profile Downloaded”.
Step 4: Install the Certificate
Step 5: Enable Trust for the Certificate
Step 6: Return to Home Screen
