Maybe this plugin is what you are looking for: Private Suite.
It specifies private categories, in which all posts will automatically be set to private.
(It looks like this plugin in combination with user roles is watertight and a one time config)
Found also this plugin: Private categories , perhaps this one forfills your need even better.
