The resource that would MOST likely provide the guidance needed to meet the FISMA (Federal Information Security Modernization Act) regulations is **NIST** (National Institute of Standards and Technology).
NIST develops standards and guidelines for federal information systems and is specifically responsible for the Risk Management Framework (RMF) and the publication of documents such as NIST SP 800-53, which outlines security controls for federal information systems. Therefore, NIST resources are the most pertinent to ensuring compliance with FISMA requirements.
