This week on Off the Grid on the Record, I sit down with Lily Yeoh, co-founder and CEO of C1Risk, to explore how her company is reshaping compliance and risk management with automation and AI.

With over two decades in cybersecurity—from cryptography at Texas Instruments to consulting at Deloitte—Lily brings deep experience in helping Fortune 500 companies navigate evolving regulations, security threats, and governance challenges. But instead of stopping there, she built C1Risk to bring automation, scalability, and accessibility to organizations of all sizes.

We cover everything from:

• The challenges of being a first-time, bootstrapped founder in a competitive industry
• How C1Risk helps SMBs, law firms, financial services, and even local governments reduce risk and streamline compliance
• Why being risk-forward (not just compliant) is the real advantage for modern organizations
• How specialized LLMs are powering the future of governance and security
• Lily’s perspective on fundraising, grit, and what it takes to last in cybersecurity

Whether you’re in tech, finance, law, or government, Lily’s story is packed with lessons about resilience, scaling, and how AI is changing compliance forever.
