Abstract : The information revolution has significantly influenced various aspects of life, prompting nations to adapt to these advancements in order to meet the evolving needs of individuals and to provide public services through modernized public facilities. Technological progress has brought about fundamental changes in administrative methods, resulting in notable improvements in the delivery of public services. This has led to the emergence of what is now known as the "digital public facility," which has positively impacted both the speed of service delivery and the efficiency of administrative performance. The Kingdom of Bahrain is among the leading countries that have swiftly embraced modern technological developments. Guided by the royal directives of His Majesty the King, addressed to the legislative and executive authorities, the country has laid the foundation for a comprehensive e-Government strategy aligned with Bahrain's Economic Vision 2030. The Bahraini government has exerted considerable effort in formulating strategic plans and developing government services, resulting in significant improvements across the economic, social, cultural, security, and administrative sectors. One of the most prominent outcomes of these efforts has been the digital transformation of the majority of public services, which has streamlined procedures, reduced the time and effort required from citizens and residents, improved governmental performance, and enhanced transparency and quality in service delivery Digital transformation has also had a profound impact on the legal framework governing public facilities. It necessitated the amendment of existing laws and the enactment of new legislation to regulate digital public services in accordance with contemporary needs. This legal evolution is reflected in the regulation of electronic transactions, the strengthening of personal data protection, the assurance of information security and confidentiality, and the establishment of legal responsibilities for violations. Furthermore, the Kingdom of Bahrain has taken proactive measures to combat cyberattacks and data breaches that may target both governmental and private institutions. These efforts have contributed to reinforcing public and private sectors this trust in digital services. This has enabled the Kingdom to offer secure and reliable electronic services efficiently delivered to both citizens and residents, thereby supporting the nation's ongoing economic development
