Depending on how much protection you want, you can:
1. Use the usual file permissioning to prevent
unwanted people from reading/writing to the
files/repository.
2. Use POSIX ACLs to prevent unwanted people from
reading/writing to the files/repository.
3. Use SSH to force users to use CVS to access the
repository.

I think there might be a patch out there for this. 
OTOH, since tags reside within the RCS files, you'll
need to manage the RCS file access as well.

It really depends on exactly what you want to do.  Can
you be a little more specific in your requirements?
