udisks does provide properties you can use to prevent volumes from being mounted by and/or shown to the user, so this should be possible. The churn is a huge pain in the arse, however. And I see it's about to get worse, since udisks is being replaced by udisks2... :/

Can't disable unused filesystems

In effect udisks has been unmaintained for ages. I've reported several bugs that could well be security holes upstream (writes through null pointers, writes through uninitalized, pointers, the code quality is really quite dire). Not one has ever got a response.
