To divide into compartments. I'm not sure how this fits with the context, but that's the definition of the term.

to place apart
According to The Concise Sapphire Dictionary (a recent Hebrew-Hebrew dictionary) "midur" is a system of assigning a person to a job in intelligence services, undergrounds and certain companies. According to this system a person who works in one unit/department does not know what the other unit/department is doing and what is going on in it.
Therefore I would translate "lemader oto" as "to place him apart."
