It is not difficult to create partitions using a program like parted. There is a GUI version Gparted.

This is easy if you have FREE SPACE on the SD card. If you have expanded the partition to use the whole card it is not so easy. You cannot shrink active partitions so this needs to be done on another system.

Storing data on a separate partition on the same SD Card does not actually provide that much security, as any failure is just as likely to corrupt any mounted partition.
