Details regarding the Annual Meeting and the business to be conducted are described in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and proxy statement.

We have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s “notice and access” rules. As a result, we are mailing to our stockholders a notice instead of paper copies of this proxy statement and our 20202021 Annual Report. The notice contains instructions on how to access those documents online. The notice also contains instructions on how stockholders can receive a paper copy of our proxy materials, including this proxy statement, our 20202021 Annual Report and a form of proxy card or voting instruction card. We believe that providing our proxy materials online increases the ability of our stockholders to connect with the information they need, while reducing the environmental impact and cost of our Annual Meeting.

Your vote is important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we hope you will vote as soon as possible. You may vote by proxy online or by telephone by following the instructions on the notice you received, or, if you receive a paper copy of our proxy materials by mail, by completing and returning the proxy card or voting instruction card mailed to you. Please review the instructions for each of your voting options described in this proxy statement as well as in the notice you received in the mail carefully.

Thank you for your ongoing support of and continued interest in Rapid7. We look forward to seeing you at the Annual Meeting.

These items of business are more fully described in the Proxy Statement accompanying this Notice.

The record date for the Annual Meeting is April 15, 2021.13, 2022. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on that date may vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

FOR THE 20212022 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

As used in this Proxy Statement, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Rapid7” and the “Company” refer to Rapid7, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not intended to be incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement and references to our website address in this Proxy Statement are inactive textual references only.

Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet rather than printing and mailing the proxy materials. We believe electronic delivery will expedite the receipt of materials and will help lower our costs and reduce the environmental impact of our annual meeting materials. Accordingly, we have sent you a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) because the Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting, including at any adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting.

The Notice will provide instructions as to how stockholders may access and review the proxy materials, including the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, this Proxy Statement, proxy card and 20202021 Annual Report, on Form 10-K, on the website referred to in the Notice or, alternatively, how to request that a copy of the proxy materials, including a proxy card, be sent to them by mail. The Notice will also provide voting instructions. In addition, stockholders of record may request to receive the proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by e-mail on an ongoing basis for future stockholder meetings. Please note that, while our proxy materials are available at the website referenced in the Notice, and our Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, this Proxy Statement and 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K are available on our website, no other information contained on either website is incorporated by reference in or considered to be a part of this document.

We intend to mail the Notice on or about April 22, 202121, 2022 to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The proxy materials, including the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, this Proxy Statement and accompanying proxy card or, for shares held in street name (held for your account by a broker or other nominee), voting instruction form, and our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 will be made available to stockholders on the Internet on the same date.

You will not receive any additional proxy materials via mail unless (1) you request a printed copy of the proxy materials in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Notice or (2) we elect, in our discretion, to send you a proxy card and a second Notice on or after May 3, 2021.

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank

If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you should have received a Notice containing voting instructions from that organization rather than from us. Simply follow the voting instructions in the Notice to ensure that your vote is counted.

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

If you receive more than one Notice, your shares may be registered in more than one name or in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions on the Notices to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

If your shares are held by your broker, bank or other agent, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other agent to change those instructions.

To be considered for inclusion in next year’s proxy materials, you must submit your proposal, in writing, by December 23, 2021,22, 2022, to our Corporate Secretary c/o Rapid7, Inc., 120 Causeway Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02114, and you must comply with all applicable requirements of Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Pursuant to our bylaws, if you wish to bring a proposal before the stockholders or nominate a director at the 20222023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, but you are not requesting that your proposal or nomination be included in next year’s proxy materials, you must notify our Corporate Secretary, in writing, not later than the close of business on March 11, 202210, 2023 nor earlier than the close of business on February 10, 2022.9, 2023. However, if our 20222023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is not held between May 12, 202210, 2023 and July 10, 2022,7, 2023, to be timely, notice by the stockholder must be received not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the 20222023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the 20222023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the 20222023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is first made. You are also advised to review our bylaws, which contain additional requirements about advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations.

If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” your shares may constitute “broker non-votes.” Broker non-votes occur when a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” does not give instructions to his or her broker, bank or other securities intermediary holding his or her shares as to how to vote. Generally, if shares are held in street name, the beneficial owner of the shares is entitled to give voting instructions to the broker, bank or other securities intermediary holding the shares. If the beneficial owner does not provide voting instructions, the broker, bank or other securities intermediary can still vote the shares with respect to matters that are considered to be “routine,” but cannot vote the shares with respect to “non-routine” matters. Under the rules of NYSE, which generally apply to all brokers, bank or other securities intermediaries, on voting matters characterized by the NYSE as “routine,” NYSE member firms have the discretionary authority to vote shares for which their customers do not provide voting instructions. On non-routine proposals, such “uninstructed shares” may not be voted by member firms. Only Proposal 2 is considered a “routine” matter for this purpose and brokers, banks or other securities intermediaries generally have discretionary voting power with respect to such proposal. Proposals 1 and 3 are not considered routine matters, and without your instructions, your broker cannot vote your shares for those proposals.

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately count, for Proposal 1 to elect directors, votes “FOR,” “WITHHOLD” and broker non-votes; and with respect to Proposals 2 and 3 votes “FOR,” “AGAINST” and abstentions and, if applicable, broker non-votes.

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. In addition, final voting results will be published in a current report on Form 8-K that we expect to file within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting, we intend to file a Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and, within four business days after the final results are known to us, file an additional Form 8-K to publish the final results.

PROPOSAL 1

Prior to our Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 3, 2020, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provided for a classified board of directors consisting of three classes with staggered terms, with each class elected for a term of three years to succeed those directors whose terms expire at the annual meeting date. At our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders approved an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to phase out our classified board commencing with the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on June 3, 2020. Our board of directors also amended our bylaws to make corresponding modifications.

In accordance with our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as amended, each director elected prior to the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders holds office until the annual meeting to be held in the third year following the year of his or her respective election and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, unless he or she dies, resigns, retires or is removed from office prior to such time. Each director elected at each annual meeting of stockholders commencing with the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will hold office for a term of one year, expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her respective successor is duly elected and qualified, unless he or she dies, resigns, retires or is removed from office prior to such time.

The Board presently has nine members. There are threesix directors in Class III whose term of office expires in 2021:2022: Michael Berry, Marc Brown, Christina Kosmowski, Benjamin Nye, Reeny Sondhi and Christina Kosmowski.Corey Thomas. Our Board has nominated Ms.Mses. Kosmowski and Sondhi, and Messrs. Berry, Brown, Nye and BrownThomas for re-election at the Annual Meeting and if elected at the Annual Meeting, each of these nominees would serve until the 20222023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified, or, if sooner, until the director’s death, resignation or removal. Each of the nominees for election at the Annual Meeting was recommended for election by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and is currently serving as a director of the Company. Mr. Berry was initially appointed to the Board in November 2012 pursuant to the provisions of a voting agreement entered into between us and certain of our stockholders that terminated upon the completion of our initial public offering. Mr. Brown and Ms. Kosmowski were initially appointed to the Board in July 2016 and July 2019, respectively, by the then-current members of the Board to fill a vacant seat.

It is our policy to invite directors and nominees for director to attend the Annual Meeting. Five of our directors serving at the time of our 20202021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders attended that meeting.

Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named in the Proxy Statement. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of the holders of shares present in person, by remote communication or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Accordingly, if a quorum is present, the threesix nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected. Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is not withheld, for the election of the nominees named below. If any nominee becomes unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, shares that would have been voted for that nominee will instead be voted for the election of a substitute nominee that we will propose. Each nominee has agreed to serve if elected. Our management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve.

Our Board believes that directors who provide a significant breadth of experience, knowledge, and abilities in areas relevant to our business, while also representing a diversity of age, gender and ethnicity, contribute to a well-balanced and effective Board. OurThe following charts demonstrate our Board’s current metrics on age, diversity, tenurecommitment to Board refreshment and independence are highlightedto having diverse and independent perspectives in the boardroom.

The following graphics. Information about each individual director and director nominee follows.table presents our Board diversity statistics in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(f), as self-disclosed by our directors.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE IN FAVOR OF EACH NAMED NOMINEE.

Continuing Directors

As required under Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) listing rules, a majority of the members of a listed company’s board of directors must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by the company’s board. The Board consults with the Company’s counsel to ensure that the Board’s determinations are consistent with relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of “independent,” including those set forth in pertinent listing standards of Nasdaq, as in effect from time to time.

In making this determination, our Board receives information annually from each of our directors regarding each director’s business and personal activities as they relate to us and our management. Each director completes a detailed questionnaire that provides information about relationships that might affect the determination of his or her independence. The Board then takes into account all known relevant facts and circumstances concerning any relationship bearing on the independence of a director or nominee. This process includes evaluating whether any identified relationship otherwise adversely affects a director’s independence and affirmatively determining that the director has no material relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant identified transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his or her family members, and the Company, our senior management and our independent auditors, the Board has affirmatively determined that the following eight directors are independent directors within the meaning of the applicable Nasdaq listing standards: Mses. Bruner, Kosmowski and Sondhi, and Messrs. Berry, Brown, Holzman, Nye and Schodorf. Mr. Thomas is not an independent director by virtue of his employment with us.

Corey Thomas serves as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and J. Benjamin Nye serves as our lead independent director. The Board believes that our current leadership structure is effective, efficient and in the best interest of Rapid7 and our stockholders.

One of the Board’s key functions is informed oversight of our risk management process. The Board does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through the Board as a whole, as well as through various Board standing committees that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, including a determination of the nature and level of risk appropriate for our Company. Our Audit Committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including risks pertaining to financial accounting, investment, capital structure, tax, information technology and cyber security matters. The Audit Committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and our cyber security strategy and governance framework to continually assess risk. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee monitors the effectiveness of our Corporate Governance Guidelines, including whether they are successful in preventing illegal or improper liability-creating conduct. Our Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking. It is the responsibility of the chair of each committee of the Board to report findings regarding material risk exposures to the Board as quickly as possible. The Board has delegated to the Chairman the responsibility of coordinating between the Board and management with regard to the determination and implementation of responses to any problematic risk management issues.

The Board of Directors met seven times during 2020.2021. Each Board member attended 75% or more of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and of the committees on which he or she served, held during the portion of the last fiscal year for which he or she was a director or committee member.

INFORMATION REGARDING COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board has standing Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees. Each member of the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees is an independent director under Nasdaq standards. Below is a description of each of our standing committees.

In addition to our standing committees, our Board formed an Operations Committee in October 2016 to work with our management on a comprehensive review of our operations. Each of our committees has authority to engage experts, advisors or consultants, as it deems appropriate to carry out its responsibilities.

The Audit Committee of the Board was established by the Board in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act to oversee our corporate accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of its financial statements. For this purpose, the Audit Committee meets regularly with and without the Company's internal auditor and independent registered public accounting firm in separate executive sessions. The Audit Committee evaluates the performance of and assesses the qualifications of the Company’s independent auditors; determines and approves the engagement of the independent auditors; determines whether to retain or terminate the existing independent auditors or to appoint and engage new independent auditors; reviews and approves the retention of the independent auditors to perform any proposed permissible non-audit services; monitors the rotation of partners of the independent auditors on the Company’s audit engagement team as required by law; reviews and approves or disapproves transactions between the Company and any related persons; confers with management, and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, as appropriate, regarding the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; establishes procedures, as required under applicable law, for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and the confidential and anonymous submission by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters; and meets to review the Company’s annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements with management and the independent auditor, including a review of the Company’s disclosures under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” The Audit Committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and our guidelines and policies with respect to risk management and risk assessment, including risks pertaining to financial accounting, investments, capital structure, tax, information technology and cyber security matters.

The Audit Committee is currently composed of three directors: Mr. Berry and Mses. Bruner and Sondhi. Mr. Berry is the chair of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee met sevenfive times during 2020.2021. The Board has adopted a written Audit Committee charter that is available to stockholders on our website at http://investors.rapid7.com.

The Board reviews the Nasdaq listing standards definition of independence for Audit Committee members on an annual basis and has determined that all of the current members of the Audit Committee are independent (as independence is currently defined under Rule 5605(c)(2)(A)(i) and (ii) of the Nasdaq listing standards and under Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act).

The Board has also determined that each of Mr. Berry and Ms. Bruner qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in applicable SEC rules. The Board made qualitative assessments of the respective levels of knowledge and experiences of each of Mr. Berry and Ms. Bruner based on a number of factors, including their formal education and experiences as chief financial officers for publicly and privately held companies. This designation does not impose on Mr. Berry or Ms. Bruner any duties, obligations or liabilities that are greater than those generally imposed on members of our Audit Committee and our Board.

audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

Respectfully submitted,

Michael Berry

The Compensation Committee is currently composed of three directors: Messrs. Brown, Nye and Schodorf. Mr. Nye is the chair of the Compensation Committee. All members of our Compensation Committee are independent (as independence is currently defined in Rule 5605(d)(2) of the Nasdaq listing standards). The Compensation Committee met four times during 2020.2021. The Board has adopted a written Compensation Committee charter that is available to our stockholders on our website at http://investors.rapid7.com.

The Compensation Committee reviews annually with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and considers whether to recommend that it be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, proxy statements and other filings.

Typically, the Compensation Committee meets quarterly and with greater frequency if necessary. The Compensation Committee also meets regularly in executive session. However, from time to time, various members of management and other employees as well as outside advisers or consultants may be invited by the Compensation Committee to make presentations, to provide financial or other background information or advice or to otherwise participate in Compensation Committee meetings. The Chief Executive Officer does not participate in, nor is present during, any deliberations or determinations of the Compensation Committee regarding his compensation or individual performance objectives. The Compensation Committee has the authority to obtain, at our expense, advice and assistance from compensation consultants and internal and external legal, accounting or other advisors and other external resources that the Compensation Committee considers necessary or appropriate in the performance of its duties. The Compensation Committee may select, or receive advice from, a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser to the Compensation Committee, other than in-house

legal counsel and certain other types of advisers, only after assessing the independence of such person in accordance with SEC and Nasdaq requirements that bear upon the adviser’s independence; however, there is no requirement that any adviser be independent.

Historically, the Compensation Committee has made most of the significant adjustments to annual compensation, determined bonus and equity awards and established new performance objectives at one or more meetings held during the first quarter of the year. The Compensation Committee also considers matters related to individual compensation, such as compensation for new executive hires, as well as high-level strategic issues, such as the efficacy of our compensation strategy, potential modifications to that strategy and new trends, plans or approaches to compensation, at various meetings throughout the year. Generally, the Compensation Committee’s process comprises two related elements: the determination of compensation levels and the establishment of performance objectives for the current year. For executives other than the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee solicits and considers evaluations and recommendations submitted to the Compensation Committee by the Chief Executive Officer. In the case of the Chief Executive Officer, the evaluation of his performance is conducted by the Compensation Committee, which determines any adjustments to his compensation as well as awards to be granted. The Compensation Committee has delegated to Mr. Thomas the authority to grant restricted stock units awards to employees (other than executive officers) and consultants within specified guidelines and procedures set by the Compensation Committee.

The specific determinations of the Compensation Committee with respect to executive compensation for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, as well as the role of the compensation consultant in assisting with those determinations, are described in greater detail in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board is responsible for identifying and evaluating candidates to serve as directors of the Company (consistent with criteria approved by the Board), reviewing and evaluating incumbent directors, recommending to the Board for selection candidates for election to the Board, making recommendations to the Board regarding the membership of the committees of the Board, overseeing the annual self-assessment process for the Board and its committees, developing a set of corporate governance principles for us and overseeing the Company's corporate environmental, social and governance programs (“ESG”) and policies.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is currently composed of two directors: Messrs. Holzman and Nye. Mr. Holzman is the chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. All members of the Nominating and

Corporate Governance Committee are independent (as independence is currently defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq listing rules). The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met two times during 2020.2021. The Board has adopted a written Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter that is available to stockholders on our website at http://investors.rapid7.com.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that candidates for director should have the highest personal integrity and ethics. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also intends to consider such factors as possessing relevant expertise upon which to be able to offer advice and guidance to management, having sufficient time to devote to the affairs of the Company, demonstrated excellence in his or her field, having the ability to exercise sound business judgment and having the commitment to rigorously represent the long-term interests of our stockholders. However, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee retains the right to modify these qualifications from time to time. Candidates for director nominees are reviewed in the context of the current composition of the Board, our operating requirements and the long-term interests of our stockholders. In conducting this assessment, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee typically considers diversity, age, skills and such other factors as it deems appropriate given the current needs of the Board and the Company, to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capability.

In the case of incumbent directors whose terms of office are set to expire, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews these directors’ overall service to the Company during their terms, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance and any other relationships and transactions that might impair the directors’ independence. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also takes into account the results of the Board’s self-evaluation, conducted annually on a group and individual basis. In the case of new director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also determines whether the nominee is independent for Nasdaq purposes, which determination is based upon applicable Nasdaq listing standards, applicable SEC rules and regulations and the advice of counsel, if necessary. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee then uses its network of contacts to compile a list of potential candidates, but may also engage, if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee conducts any appropriate and necessary inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of possible candidates after considering the function and needs of the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets to discuss and consider the candidates’ qualifications and then selects a nominee for recommendation to the Board by majority vote.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not intend to alter the manner in which it evaluates candidates, including the minimum criteria set forth above, based on whether or not the candidate was recommended by a stockholder. Stockholders who wish to recommend individuals for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to become nominees for election to the Board may do so by delivering a written recommendation to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee at the following address: Rapid7, Inc., 120 Causeway Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02114 at least 90 days, but no more than 120 days, prior to the anniversary date of the mailing of the Company’s proxy statement for the last annual meeting. Submissions must include the full name of the proposed nominee, a description of the proposed nominee’s business experience for at least the previous five years, complete biographical information, a description of the proposed nominee’s qualifications as a director and a representation that the nominating stockholder is a beneficial or record holder of our common stock. Any such submission must be accompanied by the written consent of the proposed nominee to be named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected.

Stockholder communications will be reviewed by the Corporate Secretary of the Company, who will determine whether the communication should be presented to the Board. The purpose of this screening is to allow the Board to avoid having to consider irrelevant or inappropriate communications (such as advertisements, solicitations and hostile communications). All communications directed to the Audit Committee in accordance with our Whistleblower Policy for Accounting and Auditing Matters that relate to questionable accounting or auditing matters involving the Company will be promptly and directly forwarded to the Audit Committee. We also have a corporate ethics hotline to allow complaints related to questionable accounting or auditing matters, which are immediately directed to the chair of the Audit Committee.

What follows are some areas of focus and highlights of certainin the ESG efforts we have undertaken:
