Within this setting, the concept of Corporate Digital Responsibility (CDR) gains traction. Building on the well-established concept of Corporate Social Responsibility, CDR entails a set of principles through which it seeks to ensure an ethical and responsible development, deployment, and use of digital technologies. To date, the scholarly conceptualization of CDR is still in its infancy. This study pursues two main objectives: Firstly, it seeks to contribute to CDR theory by providing a more in-depth conceptualization with focus on privacy and data security. Secondly, this study provides first guidance for the evaluation of CDR activities on company-level, a benchmark corpus. As work-in-progress, the focus lies on identifying a starting point for the evaluation of CDR activities concentrating on privacy and data security, and hence research opportunities related to this assessment in future.encorporate digital responsibilityethical guidelinesdata privacydata securitybenchmark corpus10.18420/informatik2021-0651617-5468
