PAI-101
A five-day, tool-agnostic introduction to safely navigating the digital environment and turning publicly available data into timely, actionable insight.
Advanced Digital Discovery (AD², often written AD2) equips your researchers with the skills and tools to safely navigate the digital environment and keep your organization a step ahead of those trying to cause harm to national security, your people, reputation, resources, assets, networks, and supply chains.
Built on PAI training methods, we extracted the most relevant digital research methodologies from our CASO course and created a program of instruction focused on teaching effective, tool-agnostic methodologies.
Delivered online, AD² combines interactive instruction and hands-on practical application focused on your organization's requirements. Students use publicly available tools to run the digital discovery cycle, with an introduction to commercial analytics. They learn to safely discover, synthesize, analyze, and report publicly available data and metadata, and to think critically to provide meaningful context for decision makers.
Instruction runs on a secure platform built on US Government-approved encrypted Office 365 applications that are Tier C compliant, covering ISO 27001, ISO 27018, EUMC, SOC 1 Type I and II, SOC 2 Type I and II, HIPAA, and FERPA. Students need only an adequate internet connection and a computer.
