If they have read to the data set, they can get the data without DSS. 
The only reason I have ever found to protect DSS is due to a deficiency.

Our application group decided it was great for backups using a generic
select.
DSS did not copy data sets that were migrated, and had a zero return
code.
IEBCOPY/GENER to a stacked tape did not miss a migrated data set.
