Training | Advanced Digital Discovery (AD2) Online Training (5 Days) | Nov. 2026 | Open To All

Overview
AD² is a five-day course that equips your researchers with the necessary skills and tools to safely navigate the digital environment to 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; Parsons TOG extracted the most relevant digital research methodologies from our CASO™ course and created a program of instruction focused on teaching effective tool agnostic methodologies.
Online Distance Learning
Available online, AD2 utilizes a combination of interactive instruction and hands-on practical application focused on your organization’s requirements. Students use publicly available tools to enable the digital discovery cycle, with an introduction to commercial analytics. Students learn to safely discover, synthesize, analyze, and report publicly available data and metadata, and to think critically to provide meaningful context in timely, actionable insights for decision makers.
While this course does not result in a certification, our cadre of instructors inject the core CASO methodology to ensure that students build the critical foundation needed to manage their digital footprint while applying research techniques in the digital domain. Our unique and secure instructional platform utilizes US government-approved encrypted solutions that are Tier C compliant. This broad set of global compliance and data protection requirements includes ISO 27001, ISO 27018, EUMC, SOC 1 Type I & II, SOC 2 Type I and II, HIPAA and FERPA. This course is open to all.
