Digitise and automate, then show the proof

Bahrain’s Economic Vision 2030 includes digital transformation and more efficient operations. Tag’n’Track is the platform that digitises and automates the work behind that: asset and stock registers, receiving and dispatch, maintenance checks, document custody and workforce access, all on one live record. Below are the rules and standards that matter most in Bahrain, and how the platform helps you meet and show them.

Rules and standards, and how we help

1. National vision and digital programme

The rule: Bahrain’s Telecommunications, ICT and Digital Economy Sector Strategy 2022–2026 supports Economic Vision 2030, including more digital government services.

How Tag’n’Track helps: One live record of assets, stock, files and people, with scan-based counts and approvals, so digital transformation reaches the shop floor and the store room.

2. Radio equipment approval

The rule: The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) requires type approval for radio and telecom equipment, and short-range radio devices must be type-approved before they enter the Kingdom.

How Tag’n’Track helps: We confirm the approval status of readers and tags before they are ordered, so hardware is cleared before it ships.

3. Personal data

The rule: Law No. 30 of 2018 sets rules for personal data and created the Personal Data Protection Authority. Transfers abroad are restricted unless the destination is approved.

How Tag’n’Track helps: You decide what is collected, and attendance, visitor and access data can stay on infrastructure you choose. Your legal team confirms the transfer rules.

4. Cybersecurity

The rule: The National Cyber Security Centre leads national cybersecurity and runs the national strategy, which supports Economic Vision 2030.

How Tag’n’Track helps: Choose cloud, hybrid or on-premise hosting and give each role the access it needs, so your security team can map the platform to the controls that apply to you.

5. International standards

The rule: Many organisations in the region also work to ISO 55001 (asset management), ISO/IEC 27001 (information security) and the ISO/IEC 18000-63 (EPC Gen2) standard for UHF RFID.

How Tag’n’Track helps: Tag’n’Track provides the asset records, history and standard-based tracking these frameworks rely on. Certification stays with you and your auditor.

Where this applies

Plan your project

  • List the items you need to track and who is responsible for each.
  • Check which rules apply to your sector and your data.
  • Confirm the approval status of the readers and tags you plan to buy.
  • Decide where data is hosted and who can see it.
  • Start with a pilot at one site, then scale.
