The source text is: "Conduct criminal or civil background checks on employees with access to personal information."
This is from a Human Resources website (http://www.bizresourcecenter.com/cyber.html) that provides checklists to help manage cyber risk exposures. I know the terminology for "criminal background check" in Spanish, but am struggling to find anything close to "civil background check," which seems to be composed of an overview of civil records, which provide information such as bankruptcies, tax liens, registration of motor vehicle boats, and FAA Certifications or aircrafts.

"Registro civil" would be inappropriate because it refers to someone's civil status (marriages/divorces/name changes) and "revisión de antedecendes judiciales" does not quite fit, because it applies more to the police/criminal records.

inspección de antecedentes civiles
The translation itself does not imply great difficulty. Only you would like to know that this kind of civil check may refer to many things that are described in the links. They do not refer to criminal offenses or that the person has already been arrested and acted as a defendant.
Note from asker:
| Yes, I just wanted to confirm terminology. I did not want to assume that because there is "revisión de antecedentes penales" that I should apply the same and say "revisión de antecedentes civiles." But if it is correct, then I will move forward with the translation. |
