Rapid 7 - Rapid7 Recognized with Top Score of 100 in 2025 Corporate Equality Index

On January 7, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation released their 2025 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), where Rapid7 earned a top score of 100.

The CEI is the nation’s leading benchmark for LGBTQ+ workforce equality, evaluating policies and practices in areas such as non-discrimination, equitable benefits, inclusive cultures, and corporate social responsibility. With this score, Rapid7 is recognized as a leader in LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion.

This recognition reflects Rapid7’s core value; and our commitment to creating a dynamic workplace where all people can build a rewarding career. Our core value  ‘Bring You’ is an invitation for everyone to embrace their uniqueness and bring their true selves to the workplace. We know that fostering a culture of inclusion enables people to be more creative and generate innovative ideas - essential skills when working in the field of cybersecurity. Additionally, we recognize that our work in this space is truly ‘Never Done’. We continuously evaluate, optimize, and seek feedback on programs and practices that support diversity, equity, and inclusion across the business. We’re proud of this recognition, and will continue to work towards building and maintaining a workplace where all people have access to the tools, resources, and communities that enable them to feel seen and valued, so they can make an incredible impact through their work.

In consideration for this recognition, the CEI examined Rapid7’s practices and policies against four core pillars:

• Non-discrimination policies across business entities

• Equitable benefits for LGBTQ+ workers and their families

• Supporting an inclusive culture; and,

• Corporate social responsibility

“HRC Equality Index recognition reflects a gold standard, one that ensures employees—regardless of their lived experience—have equitable access to benefits and are treated inclusively. We alignwith the HRC Equality Index standard, as we believe it fosters an environment that enables employees to bring their authentic selves to work. By cultivating an environment that nutures this dynamic, we empower our people to perform at their best and contribute meaningfully to the success of our business.

Additionally, achieving recognition on the HRC Equality Index underscores our broader commitment to being an employer who strives to reflect the global community we seek to secure. This milestone also highlights how essential equity is to our mission. Equity is a key part of the equation, and it is vital that we never lose sight of its importance.

I am incredibly proud that we are included on the index this year. This achievement reflects our ongoing commitment to fostering innovation, belonging, and excellence in all that we do.”

In addition to offering equitable benefits, Rapid7’s employee resource groups provide opportunities for people to come together around shared experiences. The Pride community provides space for LGBTQ+ employees and their allies to raise visibility and provide support through various virtual and in-office events. These initiatives include hosting external speakers, facilitating open discussions, and organizing celebrations.
