A senior member working with an RCMP intelligence team has been charged under the Security of Information Act — an event that is expected to have a ripple effect across the intelligence world for years.

Cameron Ortis — described by sources as a civilian director general at the RCMP — faces three charges under the rarely used law which deal with communicating or confirming special operational information.

A source tells CBC News that because Ortis' work was so central to national security, federal departments across government are conducting in-house damage assessments in the wake of his arrest.

Sources also say multiple security agencies were involved with the arrest.

Ortis is known for his expertise in East Asian affairs, critical infrastructure and the use of "bots" online. Sources who are familiar with his work said he would have had knowledge of code words and operations.

He was charged under a section of the Security of Information Act that applies to individuals "permanently bound to secrecy" as a condition of their work — which strongly suggests he had access to top secret material
