Technically, no, but in reality it doesn't matter.


For websites, which don't have CGI scripts, permissions 744 are fine 
(owner everything, group+other read)

If there are cgi scripts, then they should be 755.

Permissions only protect you from vulnerabilites in Apache (or 
PHP/Perl). They make no difference if the software is "secure".
