Securing a Future for Everyone: Why Our 100 HRC Equality Rating Matters

Feb 5 2026

At Rapid7, we often talk about being Global Cybersecurity Citizens. It means we don’t just build software; we take responsibility for the safety of a digital world that belongs to everyone. But to protect a multi-dimensional world, we must first champion an inclusive workplace.

Today, for the second year in row, we are proud to announce that Rapid7 has earned a score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation’s 2026 Corporate Equality Index (CEI). This recognition places us among the "Equality 100 Award" recipients, recognized as Leaders in LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion.

"Diversity of thought and experience doesn’t just make us smarter—it makes us safer. Applying multiple lenses of perspective to our challenges helps us to build solutions that work in the real world. The future isn’t protected by thinking alike; it’s protected by thinking differently, together."

-Katie Kulikoski, Chief People Officer, Rapid7


What it Means to be a Global Cybersecurity Citizen

Being a Global Cybersecurity Citizen means embracing the responsibility to secure a digital future for everyone, everywhere. We believe that four key pillars drive this mission:

  • Responsibility: Security is a global duty. Our 100/100 HRC rating reflects our commitment to making the right decisions for our people, so they can better protect the global one.

  • Inclusion: We are committed to removing barriers. From comprehensive healthcare coverage for transgender employees to family formation benefits (like adoption and fertility support), we build a foundation where everyone can thrive.

  • Awareness: Understanding the bigger picture means recognizing that both threats,and people, are different all over the world. A culture of transparency and trust allows us to leverage our differences as a way to create better outcomes for those we serve.

  • Innovation: We Challenge Convention. Drawing on diverse life experiences gives us more impactful depth and breadth of knowledge, strengthening our ability to drive meaningful change in cybersecurity and beyond.


While we celebrate this 100 score, we know our work is never done. We will continue to thoughtfully support our people, so that Rapid7 remains a place where every Global Cybersecurity Citizen can show up as their authentic self to do work that makes an impact in our world.
