Typically it’s easy enough to find the bundle ID and code signing information for an app with which to generate a PPPC profile through PPPC Utility or directly through your MDM solution, but in this case the frontend Malwarebytes app calls Malwarebytes Protection to do the actual scan. ![]() Malwarebytes launched, Malwarebytes Protection wants access. The app requiring full disk access isn’t the same one launched from Applications.

Their knowledge base offers this article showing the usual process of going to Security & Privacy > Privacy > Full Disk Access to check the box.
