Smartsheet
Best for compliance teams
Smartsheet offers a business associate agreement on its Enterprise plan, with audit logs, granular permissions and approval flows that fit regulated work. HIPAA support sits behind custom Enterprise pricing, so it is not a quick or cheap start.
Wrike pairs a signed business associate agreement on higher tiers with strong access controls and optional customer managed encryption keys. The security depth is excellent, though the plans that unlock it are firmly enterprise priced.
Asana supports HIPAA with a business associate agreement on its Enterprise+ tier, bringing its clean coordination to clinic and operations teams. Standard and lower plans are not covered, so protected data must wait for the top tier.
monday offers HIPAA compliance on its Enterprise plan, layering its friendly visual boards over health operations and project work. As with rivals, the compliance you need lives only in the custom priced Enterprise tier.
ClickUp brings HIPAA support to its Enterprise plan, so teams that want one low cost workspace can extend it into regulated work. The platform is broad and powerful, which means a real learning curve for clinical staff.
Jira, through Atlassian, will sign a business associate agreement on its Enterprise cloud plan, a fit for health IT and software teams. It is built for engineering, so operations and clinical users find it heavier than they need.
