Wrike is a serious work management platform aimed at mid-market ops and marketing teams. Clinics occasionally inherit it from a parent organization or consultant. It will sign a BAA on a specific HIPAA-ready tier — but the pricing model and feature surface are designed for portfolio management, not for clinical compliance.
The BAA Problem
Wrike’s HIPAA-eligible package is sold as an add-on to mid and upper plans. It is per user, annual, and negotiated. You can get the BAA, but you will pay for a lot of project management machinery you will not use, and you still do not get clinical compliance templates, a HIPAA audit trail, or incident response tooling.
What Changes With PHIGuard
PHIGuard is purpose-built for covered entities. Every tier — starting at $99/month per clinic — includes a signed BAA. You also get:
- Immutable audit trail on every action, satisfying HIPAA §164.312(b)
- PHI-aware fields that keep patient data out of notification channels and logs
- Compliance templates for annual training, risk assessment, incident response, and policy review
- Role-based access scoped to real clinic roles
Pricing Comparison
| Wrike | PHIGuard | |
|---|---|---|
| BAA available | HIPAA add-on only | Every tier |
| Pricing model | Per user/month (annual) | Per clinic/month |
| HIPAA audit trail | No | Yes, built-in |
| Compliance templates | No | Yes |
| Starting price (with BAA) | Enterprise (custom) | $99/clinic/mo |
Who Should Use PHIGuard Instead of Wrike
If your clinic has no need for portfolio Gantt charts and resource planning — but does need a defensible compliance program — PHIGuard is a tighter, cheaper fit.
