Rapid7 Earns Equality 100 Award in Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2025 Corporate Equality Index
January 07 2025 - 9:00AM
Rapid7, Inc., (NASDAQ: RPD), a leader in extended risk and threat
detection, has received a score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign
Foundation’s (HRCF) 2025 Corporate Equality Index, the nation’s
foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate
policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality.
Rapid7’s DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) philosophy is
centered on the belief that every person deserves an equal
opportunity to build an exceptional career and that a diversity of
mindset and lived experience is integral to the growth and success
of the company. This HRCF recognition underscores the impact of
Rapid7’s DEI initiatives, as the company joins the 765 U.S.
businesses that are also honored as Leaders in LGBTQ+ Workplace
Inclusion.
“Multi-dimensional experiences and perspectives spark the
inclusive innovation necessary to solve complex security
challenges,” said Sophia Dozier, director of Diversity, Equity, and
Inclusion at Rapid7. “Our inclusion in the Corporate Equality Index
reaffirms our commitment to fostering a workplace where everyone
feels seen, valued, and empowered to thrive. We’re proud of our
score of 100 (the highest possible score), but we know the journey
is Never Done — a core value at Rapid7. We will continue to evolve,
ensuring our progress is both equitable and inclusive as we work to
inspire and equip the next generation to build a safer digital
future.”
“The CEI is so much more than a score on paper. For decades
businesses have relied on the CEI as a tool for transparency and
leveling the playing field for all workers, making sure LGBTQ+
people and their families can share in fair, respectful and
supportive workplaces and benefits,” said RaShawn “Shawnie”
Hawkins, SHRM-CP, HRCF senior director of workplace equality. “As
conversations evolve on corporate America’s approach to Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion, year-over-year growth in CEI participation is
evidence of a business community that largely recognizes the
responsibility and value in upholding equity and inclusion. Our
goal at the Human Rights Campaign Foundation is to work in a spirit
of partnership with companies, providing educational resources and
leading benchmarking. The work of the CEI is to help businesses to
expand their consumer base and attract top, innovative talent by
supporting the LGBTQ+ community.”

More about the CEI
The results of the 2025 CEI showcase how U.S.-based companies

abroad. The first year of the CEI included 319 participants, and
the 2025 CEI now surveys 1,449 participants, further demonstrating
the tremendous growth of the CEI. A record-breaking 98 percent of
CEI businesses have non discrimination protections specific to
gender identity.
The CEI rates employers providing these crucial protections to
more than 22 million U.S. workers and includes Fortune magazine’s
500 largest publicly traded businesses, American Lawyer magazine’s
top 200 revenue-grossing law firms (AmLaw 200), and hundreds of
publicly and privately held mid- to large-sized businesses.
The CEI rates companies on detailed criteria falling under four
central pillars:
- Non-discrimination policies across
business entities;
- Equitable benefits for LGBTQ+ workers and their families;
- Supporting an inclusive culture; and
