If you don’t want to protect the entire workbook with a password then I don’t think there is a truly secure way to protect this data. You can hide the sheets and protect the workbook structure from changes i.e. you can’t un-hide the sheet, but behind the scenes this is still a zip container with accessible data.

You should be able to confirm this by going to the Review menu option and looking at the ‘Protect Workbook’ item. If it is highlighted, then the workbook structure is also protected. You will need the password for this or if you have saved the spreadsheet out without the overall password protection, you should be able to rename it to a zip and edit the xml to remove this protection. See the article at http://datapigtechnologies.com/blog/index.php/hack-into-a-protected-excel-2007-or-2010-workbook/ for this solution.
