No, data protection (Datenschutz) and data security (Datensicherheit) are completely different concepts (at least in a legal context), and the two categories should not be merged. The former refers to "the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data" and the latter refers to the safeguarding of any data against loss, corruption or unauthorized access.
